Where it pulls both ways. FC United of Manchester are the form side, but the meetings favour Worksop Town. In the last five meetings, Worksop Town won three, FC United of Manchester won one and one was drawn. On goals, their goals for and against point to an open game, and their records put over 2.5 goals at 51%, but three of the last five meetings went under 2.5.
The case against. Not everything agrees on goals, as three of the last five meetings went under 2.5.
The read. No side to back. An open game. Form and the meetings point different ways, so I back neither side. Their goals for and against point to an open game, and their records put over 2.5 goals at 51%.
The bets. No bet yet: nothing I'd back is priced yet. Leave: Worksop Town or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); FC United of Manchester or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); Under 4.5 Goals (no unders on an open read). Predicted score: Worksop Town 1-2 FC United of Manchester (8% 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 (an open game).
