Match description
Spain should control possession and the number of attacks, while Cape Verde Islands will likely defend deep. From a sporting perspective the direction is clear, but the price on Spain is already very low. Our probability distribution is Spain 70%, draw 19% and Cape Verde Islands 11%. Odds of 1.11 yield EV of about -22.3%, so the price is too low relative to our probability. The risk is not picking the favourite itself, but the lack of value at a price that requires an almost flawless Spain performance. Status: NOBET.
