Before kickoff on 📅From the better box:
If you’re putting money on this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Anaitasuna FT at 28 to win feels slightly short given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the Cup this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re riding luck — analytics guys would steer clear.
Deportivo Alaves’s 1.04 line smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
The wise guys’ll likely target the Draw 15.4 — these big games often play out tight, and occasion can stifle attacking flow.
