Considering ๐Hard-nosed betting view:
If youโre playing this one, hereโs the no-bull take.
Greece at 1.08 to win feels slightly short given their inconsistencies in the Women's World Cup this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest theyโre due a regression โ stats nerds would fade them.
Georgiaโs 20.7 line tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
