Before kickoff on 📅From the better box:
If you’re playing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
ES Métlaoui at 1.91 to win feels slightly short given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the 1st League this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re riding luck — analytics guys would fade them.
AS Solimane’s 4.33 line smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
The wise guys’ll likely poke at the Draw 2.89 — these derbies often follow scripts, and occasion can stifle attacking flow.
