Nuestras previsiones
Given the tight margins and the head-to-head history—four of the last five meetings finished as draws or one-goal victories—we’re backing a dibujar in this encounter. Both sides have shown they can shut out opponents, and with so much at stake, a cautious tactical approach is likely.
For secondary markets, consider “Both Teams to Score: No”, as three of the last five clashes produced fewer than two goals. This suggests a low-scoring affair where defences may hold firm until late drama.
