Methodology

Match analysis

On 5 September, Arbroath and Dunfermline meet in the Scottish Championship for the sixth time in just over a year, and Superior has priced Under 3.5 goals at 1.24 for that rivalry, an 80 percent probability built on three of the previous five meetings finishing level or by a single goal.

Three of the last five meetings finished level or by a single goal

Arbroath and Dunfermline drew 0-0 in May and split single-goal results either side of that, with Arbroath's only comfortable win coming by two goals in December. Both attacks back up the tight recent history too, with Arbroath scoring 0.8 goals a game and Dunfermline just 0.6, and three of Arbroath's last five home games finished 1-0 or 0-0.

A repeat of September's 5-0 is the scoreline that beats this

The pick loses if this produces four goals or more, and that has happened before: Dunfermline won 5-0 in this fixture last September, and Arbroath's 4-2 win in February also crossed the line. Both results sit inside the same head-to-head record used above, so the recent tight games are not the only pattern on show.
