The bets. No bet yet: nothing I'd back is priced yet. Leave: Under 1.5 first-half goals (the signs point different ways); Over 0.5 Goals (no overs on a tight read); Under 2.5 Goals (the signs point different ways). Predicted score: Malta 1-0 Andorra (18% 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 call and a tight game).
