REVIEW Cliftonville vs Ballymena United
IDDAAKOLIK POST-MATCH REVIEW

Cliftonville and Ballymena United couldn't be separated, finishing 2-2. From 2-0 down at the break, the game flipped completely after half-time.

File this under upsets: a 56% lean on Cliftonville went begging. That's football — and exactly why we publish probabilities, not promises.

No strong lean on goals — the model had over 2.5 at 50% and both teams to score at 50%, coin-flips both. At 1.74 (~57%), the BTTS-yes price was shorter than our number — the market leaned harder than we did.

The head-to-head backdrop: across their last 6 meetings in our records, Ballymena United led the recent series with 3 wins, 1 drawn. Scoring in those meetings ran 2.00 a game for Cliftonville against 1.50 for Ballymena United.
