The research desk: a card written on every fixture this morning
The model proposes, the desk reads the game and can veto. Both had to agree.
Athletic Club to win at 1.42 the research, free, because it lost
Athletic sit 10th and Elche 19th; the pack shows Athletic's last 5 as W W L L L against Elche's L L L D D, and Elche's away form reads L D D L. Web sources add that Athletic have won their last two matches without conceding, while Elche arrive on a run of three straight defeats.
Why it lost: Elche's three-match losing run ended with a draw away, and Athletic's shutout streak broke as the 1-1 scoreline shows neither side found a winner.

Pro
The model, aimed at a price rather than a strike rate
Expect this to lose more often than it wins. Stake it accordingly.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.50 the research, free, because it lost
Model rates this 67% against an implied 65.8% at 1.52, a real if narrow edge. Boreham Wood arrive on five straight wins (W W W W W) and Eastleigh's own last five (L D W W L) has produced goals both ways; the model's Under 4.5 sits at 77% but that price (1.22) is unplayable, so 2.5 is the workable line.
Why it lost: Boreham Wood's five-win run met an Eastleigh side that only drew, and the goals both teams had shown elsewhere never arrived here, finishing 1-1.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.54 the research, free, because it lost
Same scoring pattern underpins this: last H2H was 5-4, and both teams' recent form (Strasbourg W W L W W, Monaco W W W) shows no sign of a low-event game.
Why it lost: Both sides scored as expected but neither could add more, with the H2H and form pointing to goals that never fully materialised beyond one each.
