With both sides averaging over 1.5 goals per game in recent form and a historical trend heavily favoring goals, the value is evident. **Key Points:** - Dundee averages 1.83 goals scored and 1.67 conceded at home. - Livingston averages 1.17 goals scored and 1.33 conceded away. - 60% of recent H2H matches finished Over 2.5 Goals. - Poisson expectancy sits at 3.0 total goals. - Market odds of 1.91 undervalue the statistical probability of Over 2.5 Goals. Given the strong historical scoring trends, the current form of both sides, and the mathematical expectancy, the smart play is clearly Over 2.5 Goals.
