The bets. No bet yet: nothing I'd back is priced yet. Predicted score: Melbourne City FC 1-2 PFC Nasaf (10% chance).
The agreed story. No side to back (PFC Nasaf the favourite), an open game.
Cup and European games. The Champions League: the best against the best, and the two league tables cannot be compared. PFC Nasaf in their last continental games: lost 0-1 v Kuwait SC. Too few continental games to judge the side from.
So. A close match: the safest pick that fits.
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).
