How it turned out
The game finished with 1 goal.
What we said beforehand
Our pick: Under 2.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.0 goals in total (xG 1.3-0.8), keeping it under more often than not (about 65%). Clear chances should be at a premium.
We put the chance of that landing at about 65 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.41, which works out at about 71 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

One thing to watch
A goal against the run of play opens the game up, and a tight total can slip away fast. The price is shorter than our own read of about 65%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
