• FormRecent head-to-head games lean a bit toward the home team, so there is some mental edge there too.
• MarketThe market does give the home side some respect, but it is not shouting a clear one-way story.
• FormThe draw and the away side still have a live chance, so this is not the kind of game you can treat as settled.
