Expected goals and likely scores
Our model expects Arsenal 1.61 and Manchester City 0.97 goals. The league average is 1.34 goals per team per game, and the home factor is 1.14. These are the six most likely scores:
| Score (Arsenal first) | Chance | Fair odds |
|---|---|---|
| 1–1 | 13% | 7.82 |
| 1–0 | 11% | 8.87 |
| 2–0 | 10% | 10.17 |
| 2–1 | 10% | 10.50 |
| 0–0 | 9% | 11.71 |
| 0–1 | 6% | 15.60 |
Even the most likely score usually has a chance well below 20%, which is why correct score bets pay so much and lose so often.

Is the bookmaker's price worth taking?
Compare your bookmaker's odds with our fair odds of 1.36. If they offer more, the bet has value by our numbers; if they offer less, skip it or wait.
Example: your bookmaker offers 1.50 (example odds). A ₦1,000.00 stake returns ₦1,500.00 if it wins, a profit of ₦500.00. Work out your own slip with the payout calculator. How to turn odds into a chance.
