If you’re backing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Leverkusen (Lucas) at 1.82 to win feels slightly short given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the Valhalla Cup this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re due a regression — analytics guys would fade them.
FSV Mainz 05 (Gavi)’s 2.8 line intrigues, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
The sharp players’ll likely poke at the Draw 4.4 — these derbies often play out tight, and pressure can stifle attacking flow.
