If you’re playing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Portugal (Stason23) at 2.38 to win feels slightly short given their inconsistencies in the ESB Volta (2x3 min.) this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re overperforming — stats nerds would avoid.
Croatia (Kril)’s 4.57 line tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
The smart money’ll likely poke at the Draw 2.06 — these derbies often play out tight, and nerves can kill attacking flow.
