The hosts' unbeaten streak has already reached 14 matches. The hosts clearly do not plan to stop there.

Bet on total
The opponents have been excellent in defense in recent matches and have barely conceded at the end of 2024.

The hosts will certainly be able to seize the initiative in the game, so we expect them to have an advantage in corner kicks.
