⭐ Editor's Pick
This is the second round of the new season, and nobody wants to lose. Given that since 2022 the teams have drawn four times, one might assume that neither side will give way this time either. A final score of 1:1 seems quite logical and will probably suit both teams. The optimal bet is both teams to score (yes).
