⚖️ 7. Handicap
Handicap
The handicap is applied to Balzan FC, so a minus line means Balzan FC give that many goals of a start and Birkirkara receive them. At -1, Balzan FC must win by two or more to land; a one-goal Balzan FC win settles as Draw. There is no returned stake - the middle case is its own selection. Taken from the same scoreline distribution as correct score.
