If you’re putting money on this one, here’s the real talk.
Real Sociedad (Declan) at 1.95 to win feels slightly short given their inconsistencies in the Valhalla Cup this term. Their underlying numbers suggest they’re due a regression — stats nerds would avoid.
Villarreal (Forest)’s 2.7 odds intrigues, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
