Odds Breakdown & Implied Probabilities
(Using BetMGM odds for clarity)

| Outcome | Odds | Implied Probability |
|-----------------------|------|---------------------|
| Independiente Win | -150 | 60% |
| Sarmiento Win | +380 | 25.6% |
| Draw | +200 | 33.3% |
| Over 2.5 Goals | -149 | 67.1% |
| Under 2.5 Goals | +235 | 42.5% |

EV Adjustments (using soccer’s 41% underdog win rate):
- Sarmiento Win: (25.6% + 41%) / 2 = 33.3% (EV: +11.9% vs. implied 25.6%)
- Independiente Win: (60% + 59%) / 2 = 59.5% (EV: -0.5% vs. implied 60%)
- Draw: Unadjusted (common in soccer, but 33.3% implied is neutral).

Same Game Parlay Recommendation
Sarmiento Win (+380) + Under 2.5 Goals (+235)
Combined Odds: +1,490 (11.9x stake)
Implied Probability: 1 / 11.9 ≈ 8.4%
Adjusted Probability: 33.3% (Sarmiento win) * 42.5% (Under 2.5) = 14.1%
EV: +58.3% (14.1% / 8.4% - 1)

Why This Works:
- Sarmiento’s EV-adjusted win probability (33.3%) > implied (25.6%).
- Under 2.5 goals is a 42.5% chance vs. implied 67.1%—a massive value gap.
- Defensive trends: Sarmiento’s 3-2-0 record in draws (last 5) + Independiente’s Apertura semifinal exit suggest cautious play.

---

Injuries & Updates
- No reported injuries for either team.
- Tactical Edge: Sarmiento’s home advantage (Eva Perón Stadium) and fresh tournament legs could trump Independiente’s midweek travel.

Final Verdict
Bet: Sarmiento Win (+380) + Under 2.5 Goals (+235)
Stake: 5% of bankroll (high-risk, high-reward).
Why: The parlay exploits Sarmiento’s undervalued win rate and the Over 2.5 goals line’s overpriced nature. At +1,490, a $100 bet nets $14,900 if both legs hit—enough to fund a small stadium snack bar.

Disclaimers:
- If Independiente’s star striker (e.g., a hypothetical Ángel Di María II) returns, adjust.
- Weather (heavy rain) could shift to Over 2.5 goals—monitor 48 hours before kickoff.
