How it turned out

We projected about 2.6 goals and the game finished with 3. Both teams scored. We made Under 3.5 goals 70%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.4 goals from Sutton and 1.2 from Hartlepool, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.6 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Sutton come into this on two straight wins. Hartlepool come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Under 3.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.6 goals in total (xG 1.3-1.2), keeping it under more often than not (about 72%). Clear chances should be at a premium.

We put the chance of that landing at about 70 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.41, which works out at about 71 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
