Prediction Notes

This looks like a game with a slight lean, but it is far from a lock.

• FormThe home side is placed first, so there is still some home support behind them, but the edge is not strong.
• FormThe away team has been in better shape recently and has scored more goals, so they are not just here to make up the numbers.
• FormThe home side has been giving up too many goals lately, which makes them easier to trouble.
• FormThe away team looks a bit more balanced over the last stretch, both going forward and at the back.
• FormRecent head-to-head meetings have gone both ways, so neither side has clearly taken control of this matchup.
• InjuryThere are no injury issues listed for either team, so there is no big squad-related swing to lean on.
• MarketThe market does not give the home side a very strong push, so the draw and an away upset still need respect.
