How it turned out
We projected about 2.9 goals; the game finished with 1. We made Linfield to win 65%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 2.1 goals from Linfield and 0.8 from Carrick Rangers, 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.
Our pick: Linfield to win. Linfield are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.1-0.8), and we make them about 67% 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 65 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.65, which works out at about 61 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.
