If you’re putting money on this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Ferroviário at 1.37 to win feels slightly short given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the Fares Lopes Cup this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re due a regression — analytics guys would avoid.
Itapipoca’s 9.7 odds smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
The smart money’ll likely target the Draw 3.92 — these big games often play out tight, and occasion can stifle attacking flow.
