- Sagan are yet to make it work on the road and Montedio come into this having lost back-to-back matches.
Prediction
- But Sagan will push forward and leave room to exploit, so we're going to take the 3.3 draw option at a slightly higher odds than the home win in the draw-no-bet market.
- A tight, low-margin win for Montedio is also very possible, so we're taking that and the under 2.5 goals at 1.79 and both teams to score at 1.71 to ensure we are on the right side of this one.
