How it turned out

We projected about 3.1 goals; the game finished with 8. Both teams scored. We made Hearts to score 1 or fewer 75%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 2.2 goals from Celtic and 0.9 from Hearts, so Celtic come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.1 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Our pick: Hearts to score 1 or fewer. This is about Hearts's goals alone, not the game's total. We make them around 0.9 on the day, and the bet wants them to 1 or fewer, which we make about 75%.

We put the chance of that landing at about 75 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.38, which works out at about 72 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

What the numbers say
