The model’s selection, Over 1.5, carries an 85% chance of hitting. With these figures, the match is poised to deliver a lively contest where Alashkert’s offensive edge should prove decisive.

The upset came as Van edged Alashkert 2-1, overturning the model’s pre-match favourite of an away win that had a 57% probability.
