How it turned out
We projected about 3.0 goals and the game finished with 3. Both teams scored. We made Arsenal to win 64%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 2.1 goals from Arsenal and 0.9 from Chelsea, so Arsenal 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.
Arsenal come into this on five straight wins. Chelsea come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Arsenal to win. Arsenal are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.1-0.9), and we make them about 66% 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 64 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.75, which works out at about 57 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.
