Why we picked this for South Africa vs Lesotho

Our pick for South Africa vs Lesotho in World Cup is Over 2.5 goals, with 72% confidence. Recent form: 3 of South Africa's last 5 games went over 2.5 goals (2.8 goals per game in total), against 0 of 5 for Lesotho (1.2 per game). Recent form leans the other way: only 3 of the 10 recent games went over 2.5.

The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. At 72%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 2-0. The pick lost.
