Ajax vs Shelbourne Prediction

For Ajax vs Shelbourne (Conference League) our analyst goes with Over 3.5 goals. This is a judgement call against the recent numbers, which is why no confidence figure is shown. In their last 5 matches, Ajax's games produced 2.4 goals on average, 2 of them over 3.5. Shelbourne's games averaged 3.0, with 1 of 5 over the line. On recent form this pick looks wrong: just 3 of the teams' last 10 games went over 3.5. The analyst's view is that those games, against different levels of opposition, say little about this particular matchup.

The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. It is a judgement call, not a numbers call, and it is tracked in our record like every other pick. Final score: 3-1. The pick won.
