⭐ Editorial Prediction
Taking all factors into account, we can anticipate an open game with plenty of chances for both teams, given their weak defensive lines and the motivation to avoid relegation. Considering the home side's form, which often results in high-scoring matches, and the visitors' reasonable chances to find the back of the net at least once, our bet is on the visitors not to lose.
