If you’re backing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Ilves/2 at 15.5 to win feels tight given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the 3rd League this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re due a regression — stats nerds would steer clear.
Atlantis II’s 1.36 odds smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
The wise guys’ll likely poke at the Draw 3.5 — these big games often play out tight, and pressure can stifle attacking flow.
