Why this pick

Why we picked this for Manchester United vs Reading

Our pick for Manchester United vs Reading in FA Cup is Over 2.5 goals, with 66% confidence. Recent form: 4 of Manchester United's last 5 games went over 2.5 goals (4.2 goals per game in total), against 1 of 5 for Reading (1.8 per game). Recent form is split here (5 of 10 games went over 2.5), so it doesn't settle the call on its own.

There are no recent meetings between these teams in our data, so head-to-head history plays no part here. The 66% confidence reflects a real but modest lean in the recent numbers. The match ended 2-0, so Over 2.5 didn't come in.
