If you’re putting money on this one, here’s the no-bull take.
SK Sturm Graz at 5.25 to win feels a tad skinny given their inconsistencies in the Club Friendly Games this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re due a regression — analytics guys would fade them.
Mlada Boleslav’s 10.75 line tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
The wise guys’ll likely target the Draw 1.26 — these derbies often follow scripts, and nerves can stifle attacking flow.
