Match analysis
A Finnish attack rated 7.0 meets a Belarus defence rated 5.8 in Finland vs Belarus on 29 September, and that gap is why Superior takes Over 1.5 goals. The price is 1.53, and the model gives two or more goals a 65 percent chance.
Belarus have scored in all five of their recent games
The model builds each side's expected goals from its measured attack and defence, then prices every scoreline from those two rates, and here both rates carry weight. Finland average 1.4 goals a game and Belarus 2.0, and the Belarus attack, rated 6.3, faces a Finland defence rated 6.7. Belarus scored in every one of their last five, including 4-1 against Syria and 2-2 against Burkina Faso, and four of those five had at least two goals. The correct score is 1-1, with 2-1 to Finland the alternative.
Finland failed to score in 4-0 defeats by Germany and the Netherlands
Over 1.5 loses on 0-0, 1-0 or 0-1, and both sides carry recent evidence for one of those. Finland blanked twice in their last five, and Belarus won 1-0 in Cyprus in March, exactly the kind of result that beats this pick. If Finland's attack has the night it had in Germany, a lone Belarus goal would leave the total at one.
