If you’re putting money on this one, here’s the unvarnished truth.
Barcelona (fireball) at 2.51 to win feels a tad skinny given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the ESB Volta (2x3 min.) this term. Their underlying numbers suggest they’re due a regression — stats nerds would avoid.
Liverpool (sheva)’s 2.14 odds intrigues, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
The sharp players’ll likely target the Draw 3.88 — these derbies often play out tight, and occasion can stifle attacking flow.
