Game Analysis
Real Madrid at -450 is a trap — you need 81.8% wins just to break even, and a 1-goal loss torches the bankroll. The spread at -1.5/-175 is the correct entry, pricing Madrid's talent edge at an achievable margin (model 64% vs 63.6% implied, marginal edge). No injuries, no sharp divergence data, single-book quote — so this sits at half-unit lean, with the over 3.5 as the secondary half-unit play on mismatch scoring. Sample size note: zero graded outcomes in this sport, so all numbers are conservative priors.
