If you’re playing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Odds Ballklubb at 2.48 to win feels slightly short given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the 1st Division this term. Their underlying numbers suggest they’re riding luck — analytics guys would fade them.
Start’s 2.43 line intrigues, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
