How it turned out
We projected about 2.4 goals and the game finished with 2. We made Orlando Pirates to win 68%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 0.6 goals from Marumo Gallants and 1.9 from Orlando Pirates, so Orlando Pirates come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.4 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Orlando Pirates 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: Orlando Pirates to win. Orlando Pirates shade this one on the numbers (xG 0.5-1.9), and we make them about 69% to win. They look the better bet on the road, and backing them outright is the straightforward way in.
We put the chance of that landing at about 68 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.37, which works out at about 73 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
