If you’re putting money on this one, here’s the unvarnished truth.
Sikkim Dragons FC at 1.07 to win feels a tad skinny given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the Sikkim Governor`s Gold Cup this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re overperforming — stats nerds would fade them.
NorthEast United’s 110 line intrigues, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
The smart money’ll likely poke at the Draw 8 — these big games often play out tight, and occasion can stifle attacking flow.
