Leave: AL Hala or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); Al Ittihad or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); Under 4.5 Goals (no unders on an open read). Predicted score: AL Hala 1-2 Al Ittihad (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).
