Verdict
BT4Y analyst view
BT4Y analyst view: Under that scoring level is the preferred angle because trades a narrower set of winning scorelines for a higher price than Under 2.5 Goals, losing if either side scores a second goal. Leyton Orient are carrying more of the scoring load at that scoring level per match, with Barnsley at 0.
