The bets. No bet yet: nothing I'd back is priced yet. Leave: Kitchee or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); Kitchee or Draw (1UP) (no result call); Under 5.5 Goals (no unders on an open read). Predicted score: Tai Po FC 1-2 Kitchee (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).
