If you’re playing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Cittadella at 1.76 to win feels tight given their inconsistencies in the Serie C this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re overperforming — analytics guys would steer clear.
Lumezzane’s 4.59 line smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
