The case against. Arema FC's record still gives them 32% to win. Not everything agrees on goals: their records put over 2.5 goals at 61%.

The bets. No bet yet: nothing I'd back is priced yet. Leave: Over 1.5 Goals (no overs on a tight read); Dewa United or Over 2.5 Goals (no overs on a tight read); Arema FC Under 1.5 goals (Arema FC's own games don't back it (1 of 5)). Predicted score: Arema FC 0-1 Dewa United (9% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (the call and a tight game).
