⭐ Editorial Prediction
Considering the current form of both clubs, we can expect a tightly contested match with few goals. Based on the trend that the total goal count between these teams rarely exceeds 3.5 (9 out of the last 10 head-to-heads have hit the "under"), it's reasonable to believe this pattern will continue, as there seems to be no better option. We'll go for under 3.5 goals.
