What to expect

We expect about 1.8 goals from Crusaders and 1.6 from Carrick Rangers, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 3.4 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Our pick: Crusaders or Draw. This covers Crusaders 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 61 out of 100. The price on offer is 2.00, which works out at about 50 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

What the numbers say
✓Crusaders have won one of their last five.
✓Carrick Rangers have won one of their last five.
