How it turned out
We projected about 2.4 goals and the game finished with 2. We made Over 1.5 goals 73%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 1.0 goals from Spartak Moscow and 1.4 from Zenit, so Zenit come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.4 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Spartak Moscow come into this on two straight wins. Zenit come into this on five straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Over 1.5 goals. This should be an open game: we make it around 2.4 goals between the two (xG 1.0-1.4), landing about 76% of the time on these numbers. Both sides carry a threat, so the goals should follow.
We put the chance of that landing at about 73 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.31, which works out at about 76 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
