Bookies Expecting Cruzeiro to Triumph

With an approximate 53% chance of succeeding, the bookies are being cautious with their -111 betting odds for Cruzeiro triumphing in this Série A encounter. São Paulo are seen as the most unlikely winner at +295.

If you want to back Cruzeiro to win, then you can take the Asian Handicap -0.5 option. This selection is priced at -111, although São Paulo +0.5 is -112 and the latter puts the draw on your side.

For those expecting a low-scoring contest, Under 2.5 is the market leader on the Total Goals market. For Both Teams to Score betting opportunities, the market suggests that BTTS Yes and No are both equally as likely to happen.

It’s great that you can tap into hundreds of markets for every Série A match. Each of our recommended football betting sites provide exciting pre-match and In-Play betting options.
