Why this pick

Why we picked this for Malta vs Russia

Over 2.5 goals is our call for Malta against Russia (World Cup), rated at 66% confidence. Matches involving Malta produced 1.8 goals per game over their last 5, and 1 of those went over 2.5. For Russia it is 3.4 goals per game, with 3 of 5 over 2.5. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 4 of the 10 recent games went over 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Over 2.5.

The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. At 66%, the recent numbers lean this way, but not strongly. Final score: 1-3. The pick won.
