How it turned out

We projected about 2.6 goals; the game finished with 1. We made Ballymena United or Draw 78%. It lost.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.6 goals from Ballymena United and 1.0 from Bangor, so Ballymena United come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.6 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

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

Our pick: Ballymena United or Draw. This covers Ballymena United or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 78 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.18, which works out at about 85 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
✓Ballymena United have won four of their last five.
✓Bangor have not won any of their last five.
✓Three of the last five meetings had three goals or more.
