btts — yes@ 3.8
EV: 120.0%
Both teams have poor defensive records (Heracles conceding 2.52, GAE 1.7 per game), and 7 of the last 10 H2H saw BTTS. Both sides have high BTTS and over 2.5 rates this season.
over_under_2_5 — over@ 3.45
EV: 86.0%
Heracles matches go over 2.5 at a league-high 73.9%, GAE at 60.9%. Both teams' defences are leaky and H2H history is goal-rich.
1x2 — draw@ 3.8
EV: 25.0%
GAE have drawn 11 of 23 matches (48%), Heracles have drawn 2 but lost 10/12 away. GAE's home record is draw-heavy, and recent form is poor for both—stalemate is plausible at value odds.
