Why we picked this for Manchester City vs Brighton

For this EFL Trophy fixture we go with Under 3.5 goals for Manchester City vs Brighton, at 52% confidence. In their last 5 matches, Manchester City's games produced 4.6 goals on average, 3 of them over 3.5. Brighton's games averaged 2.6, with 2 of 5 over the line. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 5 of the 10 recent games went under 3.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Under 3.5.

History between the two sides fits the pick too: 3 of 5 recent meetings went under 3.5. With 52% confidence the recent numbers only just favour this side, so this is one of our weaker picks.
