I'm not going to guess the score, but I expect an open game and over/under in this match. The teams have a great history in head-to-head matches, and their position in the table promises success if the home team wins. It's possible the teams will share a point, but I'm still expecting one of them to win. We're also continuing our marathon from 10 to 100, and this is the second bet:
The total for the match is 2 over at odds of 1.64, and the bet amount is also 3k. Good luck to everyone.
20th vs. 19th.
The opponents' status in the tournament can be described as "certain underdogs."
Besides being close at the bottom of the table, they also have practically identical scores, goals scored, and goals conceded. And, accordingly, they share the same mentality of being relegation candidates.
This means that a head-to-head match between them takes on the status of a derby, where neither wants to lose and a battle for six points awaits.
The old children's saying comes to mind: "Our motto is four words: if you drown yourself, drown someone else!" It reflects the cynical nature of their behavior under extreme conditions.
The opponents' current state suggests a very close game.

are becoming very relevant. The results of head-to-head matches hint at under-unders, with the last five matches ending in a 0-0 draw; 1-1 draw, or a minimal home advantage (1-0), by the way. However, given the length of time (1989) and the time spread, only the match from the 7th round is significant.
Analysis of this match revealed that the teams were playing it safe in the first half. Verona allowed the Pisans to dominate, but didn't allow any shots on target. In the second, the Mastiffs became more active. They took more corners and had two shots on target, compared to Pisa's zero.
A notable fact is that both clubs changed their head coaches on the same day (February 3).
As we know, a change in head coach gives players the impetus to shine.
I predict this match will be little different from the first-round match.
A relatively uninspiring first half.
The main action will unfold in the second half. They might score one goal each.

1:1 for the competition... Or 1:0 for the game.
Metz isn't doing much for the coach's resignation – the team has lost four matches in a row. Their last league point was on January 4th, and their last win was in November. The Maroons' transfer policy is unconvincing – Bouna Sarr hasn't played for a year and a half, and Georgi Kvilitae is yet to reach a new level at 32. Metz aren't bad offensively, but their defense is woefully inadequate.
Lille have lost four consecutive Ligue 1 matches and are falling short of their coveted Champions League spot. Their only previous win against Freiburg in the Europa League was in 2026. The team has a significant number of injured players, limiting their starting lineup options. Lille has an excellent head-to-head record against Metz – they are unbeaten in ten matches and have won five of their last seven. Let's assume that the "dogs" win, but both teams score.
Both teams had a poor start to the season, but have gradually picked up an equal number of points, currently teetering dangerously close to the relegation zone. Both Leeds and Nottingham have suffered few losses recently, but neither team has enjoyed a flurry of victories. Leeds' squad is a factor in their favor in the upcoming game: the hosts' losses are few and far less significant than those of the visitors, who, in addition to previous injuries, lost three key players in the previous round. On the other hand, the visitors' head-to-head record favors them: Nottingham has rarely lost to Leeds in recent years, but their victories have mostly come at their home stadium, not at Elland Road. Furthermore, Nottingham's matches against Leeds are often spectacular and back-and-forth. Taking all factors into account, we assume a head-to-head meeting between these two inconsistent teams will not produce a winner.
