It's a prediction based on form stats for each side, as well as historical records when they go head-to-head. We give it a probability of 75%. The bookies have it available at 1.22.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think M'Boro are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 44% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.80.
