Inter San Carlos at 1.91 to win feels slightly short given their inconsistencies in the Primera this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re riding luck — analytics guys would avoid.
Puntarenas F.C.’s 3.77 odds smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
The smart money’ll likely poke at the Draw 3.44 — these derbies often play out tight, and occasion can kill attacking flow.
