PREDICTIONS
Admin Pick: BTTS – Both teams are on a run of 8 games without keeping a clean sheet and with no signings done to strengthen the defense I expect teams to concede a goal each
Top Pick : Over 4.5 cards – Olympic Star are always aggressive in matches and are meeting Flambeau du Centre a team that wants to keep the ball for longer times . Eventually, Olympic Star are going to commit fouls and cards will come out .
