Where it pulls both ways. On goals, their goals for and against point to a tight game; their records put over 2.5 goals at 53%; six of the last eight meetings went under 2.5.
The case against. Costa Rica's record still gives them 30% to win. Not everything agrees on goals: their goals for and against point to a tight game. Not everything agrees on goals: six of the last eight meetings went under 2.5.
The read. Haiti to win. An open game. Haiti are the stronger side on form and the table; the meetings favour Haiti. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 53%.
The bets. No bet yet: nothing I'd back is priced yet. Leave: Costa Rica or Over 2.5 Goals (the call backs Haiti); Under 5.5 Goals (no unders on an open read); Under 4.5 Goals (no unders on an open read). Predicted score: Costa Rica 1-2 Haiti (7% 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 an open game).
