China vs Australia Prediction

For this World Cup fixture we go with Under 2.5 goals for China vs Australia, at 54% confidence. In their last 5 matches, China's games produced 3.2 goals on average, 3 of them over 2.5. Australia's games averaged 2.2, with 3 of 5 over the line. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 4 of the 10 recent games went under 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Under 2.5.

The head-to-head points the other way: only 0 of their last 1 meetings finished under 2.5 goals. Older meetings say less about how these teams play now, so recent form counts for more in our numbers. With 54% confidence the recent numbers only just favour this side, so this is one of our weaker picks. Final score: 1-1. The pick won.
