The numbers. At home Scotland score 1.5 and concede 1.8 a game in their last six, with no clean sheets and three games without a goal.

Where it pulls both ways. The odds board puts the price at 53% against the records' 29%.
The read. No firm call: Scotland are the better side, but not at this price. A draw is live. A tight game. Their goals for and against make Scotland the likelier winners, they are stronger on form and the table, and point to a tight game, with over 2.5 goals at 45% and two of the last three meetings under 2.5.
The bets. Best bet: Under 3.5 Goals at 1.17, 82% on the records (Scotland: under 3.5 goals in 4 of 6 at home; Slovenia: under 3.5 goals in 5 of 6). Backup: Under 1.5 first-half goals at 1.35. It often rescues the bet, but it is no guarantee. Leave: Over 0.5 Goals (no overs on a tight read). Predicted score: Scotland 1-0 Slovenia (15% 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 (a tight game).
