If you’re backing this one, here’s the unvarnished truth.
France (pimchik) at 1.52 to win feels a tad skinny given their inconsistencies in the ESB Volta (2x3 min.) this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re overperforming — stats nerds would steer clear.
Portugal (sheva)’s 5.06 odds tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
