I use 1xBet as reference, so out of every ₦1,000 you stake ₦17 stays with 1xBet. The same stake loses ₦108 at SBO, the widest cut on my list for this game. For the home win the fair price is 1.38, and the rest is in the table below for you.
Implied means the chance the price suggests here, and fair price means the price with the bookmaker cut removed.
| Outcome | Price | Implied | Fair price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home | 1.36 | 73.5% | 1.38 |
| Draw | 5.43 | 18.4% | 5.52 |
| Away | 10.20 | 9.8% | 10.38 |
My read: over 2.5 goals, and that is only a guess from the goals in recent games and past meetings listed above.
Set a stake limit before you start today and keep to it without fail.
