Why it made the board
CompleteThe side market is too flat to trust, and the books are already shaping this as a lower-event match. With no lineup edge and absences on both teams, Under 2.5 is the cleanest high-hit route above the price band.
Main risk
Tactical Counter: An early goal or a defensive mistake can flip the game state and drag this into open transitions.
