Likely

Likely selections are favourites whose chances of winning we consider at least as probable as the market does. They land more often than value selections, but short odds mean that one loss wipes out several wins. The edge in this band is usually around zero or negative, as the odds include the bookmaker's margin – the long-term return is at market level, not above it.

Palmeiras – Corinthians: Palmeiras to win @ 1.66

Statistics. Palmeiras' averages over their last ten matches are 1.4 goals scored and 0.5 conceded, with Over 2.5 goals landing in 3/10. Corinthians' corresponding figures are 0.8 and 1.6, and 6/10; Palmeiras have 60 points, while Corinthians are one point above the relegation zone. Situation. API-Football lists two absences for Palmeiras and seven for Corinthians, with André Ramalho doubtful; Rodrigo Garro and Kaio César are suspended. Ge's line-ups were projected rather than confirmed, and Corinthians are being led on an interim basis by William Batista following the managerial change. Palmeiras have the heavier workload: their previous match was three days ago and their next Libertadores match is in three days. Estimate. Palmeiras 59.5% · Draw 24.5% · Corinthians 16.0% Why we are backing it. Corinthians' midfield absences and interim coaching setup tilt the estimate slightly towards Palmeiras. The derby draw risk and Palmeiras' more congested fixture schedule prevent a greater deviation from the market. Deviation from the market: The edge from the line-up and coaching situation tilts the estimate slightly towards Palmeiras: Corinthians are without suspended Rodrigo Garro and Kaio César, and the team is led by an interim manager.

Seattle Seahawks – San Francisco 49ers: Seattle Seahawks to win @ 1.63

Statistics. In ESPN's 10-game sample, Seattle have scored 26.4 and conceded 14.8 points per game; San Francisco's corresponding figures are 29.8 and 18.3. This season, Seattle are 3–1 with a points total of 105–73 and the 49ers are 4–0 with a points total of 122–64. Situation. The 49ers' Nick Bosa and Kyle Juszczyk are officially out, while Seattle are without Zach Charbonnet. The starting QBs are not on the out/doubtful list, and both have a normal seven-day gap between games. Estimate. Seattle Seahawks: 60.5% · San Francisco 49ers: 39.5% Why we are backing it. Seattle's home advantage and Bosa's absence in particular tilt the estimate narrowly towards the home team, but the 49ers' strong 4–0 start keeps the gap to the market small. Deviation from the market: The line-up situation tilts the estimate narrowly towards Seattle because the 49ers' star defender Nick Bosa is out.

Arizona Cardinals – Detroit Lions: Detroit Lions to win @ 1.44

Statistics. In ESPN's 10-game sample, Arizona have scored 19.4 and conceded 32.2 points per game; Detroit's corresponding figures are 27.4 and 29.7. In the NFL game centre, Detroit's seasonal average is 29.8 points and 389.3 yards per game, compared with Arizona's 21.8 and 294.8. Situation. Detroit are without Ben Bartch, Brian Branch, Cade Mays and Rock Ya-Sin; Arizona are without Isaiah Adams and Andrew Wingard. Jared Goff and Jacoby Brissett do not have an out or doubtful status, and both teams have a normal gap between games. Estimate. Arizona Cardinals: 32% · Detroit Lions: 68% Why we are backing it. Detroit's offensive advantage makes them clear favourites, but the favourites' own defensive and line absences keep the estimate at exactly the market's fair 68%.

Odds 1.44 · market 68.0% · our estimate 68% · edge -2.1%

St. Louis City SC – LA Galaxy: St. Louis City SC to win @ 1.53

Statistics. On the MLS match page, St. Louis' season record is 48 goals scored and 36 conceded, LA Galaxy's is 37–44; the xG figures are 45.4 and 42.7. In API-Football's 10-game sample, St. Louis have scored 2.7 and conceded 1.2 goals per game, Galaxy 1.3 and 1.5. Situation. St. Louis are second in the Western Conference and on a 17-league-match unbeaten run. St. Louis are without Pompeu and Hiebert; Galaxy are without Lozano and Puig, while Klauss, who has scored seven goals in 11 league matches, is doubtful. The teams have had a long rest, but Galaxy are starting a run of three matches in seven days. Estimate. St. Louis City SC: 63.3% · Draw: 19.4% · LA Galaxy: 17.4% Why we are backing it. St. Louis' home advantage, stronger seasonal profile and Galaxy's attacking absences support their status as favourites. However, we do not deviate from the market's fair estimate, as odds of 1.53 already price in these factors efficiently.

New York Rangers – Vancouver Canucks: New York Rangers to win @ 1.38

Statistics. After six matches, the Rangers are 4–2–0 and Vancouver 2–4–0. The Rangers have conceded 1.83 goals per game compared with Vancouver's 4.83; penalty-kill percentages are 89.5 and 52.2, while power-play percentages are 23.5 and 20.0. Garand's save percentage is 97.1 in two matches and Lankinen's is 78.3 in five matches. Situation. Dylan Garand is confirmed as the Rangers' starter, while Kevin Lankinen is Vancouver's projected starter, not confirmed. Vancouver are playing their second match on consecutive days and their third in four days. The Rangers are without Igor Shesterkin and Joonas Korpisalo, Vancouver without Thatcher Demko and Filip Chytil. Estimate. New York Rangers: 69.5% · Vancouver Canucks: 30.5% Why we are backing it. The Rangers are justified favourites because of their defensive and special-teams advantage and Vancouver's fatigue. However, we do not raise the estimate above the market because the Rangers have to rely on Garand with Shesterkin and Korpisalo out.

Over/Under and Handicap

Over/Under selections bet on the total number of goals or points in a match, not the winner. The odds are 1.70–2.20 and the rationale is always specified: match tempo, goaltenders, absences or conditions. In ice hockey, overtime and the shootout are included; in football, only regular time counts. Handicap selections bet on the winning margin: Lakers −4.5 wins if Lakers win by at least five.

Philadelphia Flyers – Carolina Hurricanes: Over 5.5 goals @ 1.86

Statistics. Over six matches, Philadelphia have scored 1.2 and conceded 4.0 goals per game, compared with Carolina's 3.8 and 2.7. The Flyers' PP/PK is 11.1/77.3%, Carolina's 26.9/92.0%. Situation. Pyotr Kochetkov and Joseph Woll are NHL.com's projected starters, but not yet confirmed; their save percentages are 89.5 and 92.7. Both teams are playing back-to-back, and the Flyers are without Konecny, York and Ristolainen. Estimate. Over: 55% · Under: 45% Why we are backing it. The Flyers' 4.0 goals conceded per game, Kochetkov's early-season save percentage and both teams' fatigue situation increase the probability of six goals. Konecny's absence keeps the uplift modest. Deviation from the market: Both teams playing on consecutive days, Kochetkov's 89.5% save percentage, and the Flyers' weak defence and defensive absences raise the Over estimate, although Konecny's absence tempers it.
