If you’re playing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
S.L. Benfica (R0ge) at 2.58 to win feels tight given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the eSports Battle (2x4 min.) this term. Their underlying numbers suggest they’re overperforming — analytics guys would steer clear.
Rio Ave FC (A1ose)’s 2.09 line intrigues, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
The sharp players’ll likely poke at the Draw 3.89 — these derbies often follow scripts, and nerves can kill attacking flow.
