Quick Take

Pre-match view

Context last updated 8 Jul 2026, 17:08 · Europe/Bucharest

Operario’s home H2H dominance and both teams’ low-scoring trends make the first-half draw (2.05, +6pts edge) and under 9.5 corners (1.85, +6pts edge) the top value plays.

Avoid the home win and under 1.5 first-half goals, where odds are too short relative to our estimates.
