How it turned out
We projected about 2.8 goals; the game finished with 5. Both teams scored. We made Under 3.5 goals 70%. It lost.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 1.6 goals from CSKA Moscow and 1.2 from Lokomotiv Moscow, so CSKA Moscow come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Our pick: Under 3.5 goals. This one is tight against the line: we make it around 2.8 goals (xG 1.6-1.2) and it takes four to beat us, keeping it under more often than not (about 72%). A close call rather than a comfortable one.
We put the chance of that landing at about 70 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.47, which works out at about 68 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
