⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public and money percentages sit nearly even across the board with no strong consensus. The Under receives the clearest mathematical backing from recent low-run trends and extensive injury lists on both sides limiting offensive output. Follow the data-supported Under rather than fading or following the near-50/50 public split.
🔮 Recommended Play
Follow the data on Under 8 — highest positive EV with supporting recent form and injury context.
