If you’re putting money on this one, here’s the unvarnished truth.
Leruma United at 2.95 to win feels tight given their inconsistencies in the 1st Division this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re due a regression — stats nerds would avoid.
Pretoria University’s 2.36 line smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
The smart money’ll likely poke at the Draw 3.05 — these derbies often play out tight, and nerves can kill attacking flow.
