Before kickoff on ๐Odds perspective:
If youโre putting money on this one, hereโs the no-bull take.
Zamalek at 1.38 to win feels a tad skinny given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the Premier League this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest theyโre due a regression โ analytics guys would steer clear.
