Before kickoff on 📅From the better box:
If you’re backing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Kerry at 2.2 to win feels slightly short given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the 1st Division this term. Their underlying numbers suggest they’re overperforming — stats nerds would avoid.
Longford Town’s 3.11 line smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
