Newcastle v Liverpool: how it went

How it turned out

We projected about 3.3 goals and the game finished with 4. Both teams scored. We made Both teams to score 64%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.7 goals from Newcastle and 1.6 from Liverpool, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 3.3 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.7-1.6), and we make both teams to score about 64%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 64 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.50, which works out at about 67 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
