How it turned out
We projected about 2.7 goals; the game finished with 1. We made Larne to win 76%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 2.1 goals from Larne and 0.6 from Portadown, so Larne come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.7 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Portadown 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: Larne to win. Larne are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.1-0.6), and we make them about 78% 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 76 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.26, which works out at about 79 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
