How it turned out
We projected about 3.5 goals; the game finished with 5. Both teams scored. We made Both teams to score 62%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 1.4 goals from Wealdstone and 2.1 from Southend, so Southend come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.5 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Southend come into this on two straight draws. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.4-2.1), and we make both teams to score about 62%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.
We put the chance of that landing at about 62 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.43, which works out at about 70 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
Recent results
Southend have won three of the last five meetings, with one drawn.
