Independiente Medellin at 1.48 to win feels slightly short given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the Primera A this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re due a regression — analytics guys would fade them.
Deportivo Pereira’s 7.4 odds smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
