What to expect

We expect about 2.3 goals from Linfield and 0.6 from Bangor, so Linfield come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.9 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Linfield 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: Linfield to win. Linfield are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.3-0.6), and we make them about 79% 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 77 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.23, which works out at about 81 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
✓Linfield are unbeaten in their last five — four wins and one draw.
✓Bangor have won one of their last five.
