Main Match Prediction

There’s a strong case when it comes to selecting Under 2.5 Goals for this Série A encounter. There might not be fireworks between the two teams and we’ve snapped up the odds of -127.

Key stats supporting our main match prediction (league matches):

• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 4 Botafogo games.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 6 of the last 10 Botafogo games.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 4 Athletico PR games.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 8 of the last 10 Athletico PR games.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 12 of the last 20 Athletico PR games.

We take note of any injuries or suspensions affecting each side before going ahead with our football predictions. The Série A form guide and stats also help the team at Sportsgambler.com crunch the numbers ahead of the action.

The best betting sites make it a 55.9% chance that our pick is settled as a winner. However, our research has found that the actual probability is between 60-65%. It is therefore regarded as a value wager.

If you’re looking for bigger odds and are expecting a low-scoring affair, then it might be worth looking at Under 1.5 Goals, especially if you think that one goal or less will be scored in total.
