REF’s picks

Backing over 2.5 goals at 1.71 offers solid value in a matchup where both sides have shown vulnerabilities defensively and tend to engage in open games. While recent matches for both teams have occasionally produced low-scoring struggles, their underlying metrics point toward enough chances created to break past a couple of goals.

1. 1Both defenses have leaked goals consistently in recent weeks, raising the probability of multiple defensive errors.
2. 2Córdoba's matches frequently feature high shot counts and active wing play that should stretch Leganés.
3. 3A potential slow start or cautious opening 20 minutes could trap the game into a tighter script than expected.
