Before kickoff on ๐Odds perspective:
If youโre backing this one, hereโs the unvarnished truth.
Al-Ittifaq at 1.36 to win feels slightly short given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the 2nd Division this term. Their underlying numbers suggest theyโre due a regression โ analytics guys would fade them.
Isa Townโs 7.5 odds tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
The wise guysโll likely poke at the Draw 4.36 โ these derbies often follow scripts, and nerves can kill attacking flow.
