Where it pulls both ways. For me, it pulls both ways. Their goals for and against make Sao Paulo FC SP the likelier winners, but Santos FC SP are the stronger side on form and the table. Both teams' records favour Santos FC SP, yet their goals point to an open game. Overall, their records put over 2.5 goals at 38%.
The read. No side to back. Nothing separates them clearly enough to back a side.
The bets. No bet on this one: too close to call. Leave: Sao Paulo FC SP Under 1.5 goals (the signs point different ways); Santos FC SP win or both teams score (no result call). Predicted score: Sao Paulo FC SP 1-1 Santos FC SP (12% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (the Model's table).
