How it turned out
We projected about 3.0 goals; the game finished with 5. Both teams scored. We made Coleraine to win 71%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 2.1 goals from Coleraine and 0.9 from Ballymena United, so Coleraine come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.0 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Our pick: Coleraine to win. Coleraine are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.1-0.9), and we make them about 73% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 71 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.44, which works out at about 69 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
