What to expect

We expect about 1.2 goals from Newells Old Boys and 1.1 from Banfield, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.3 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Under 2.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.3 goals in total (xG 1.2-1.1), keeping it under more often than not (about 60%). Clear chances should be at a premium.

We put the chance of that landing at about 60 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.52, which works out at about 66 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

One thing to watch

Cagey games can burst open late, and a couple of goals in the closing stages would be enough to catch this out. The price is shorter than our own read of about 60%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
