Of Over 2

- At 1.4, Of Over 2 implies roughly 71%, while BT4Y rates the chance closer to 60%.
- In this instance, a selection of Over 2.5 Goals requires at least three total goals to be scored to settle as a winning selection.
- Argentina show a 33% BTTS rate and Cape Verde Islands show a 33% BTTS rate, which is the right starting point for this market.
- Argentina average 2.67 goals scored and Cape Verde Islands average 0.67, so both attacking contributions need separating.

Keep staking reduced or wait for a better price unless final team news strengthens the selection. Better value alternative: Under 2.5 Goals shows a +10.5 pts edge at 2.3.

Argentina show a that shared-scoring rate rate and Cape Verde Islands show a 33% BTTS rate, which is the right starting point for this market.
