Main Match Prediction

Fortaleza are priced at -137 to secure a victory and we think these odds look too big. We’re expecting the hosts to land a Série B win and a nice potential return could be on the cards.

Knowing the players that are injured give us a helping hand when putting together football betting tips. Once we’ve also looked at the Série B form guide, we use the available stats and make predictions.

Key stats supporting our main match prediction:

• Fortaleza have won 4 of their last 5 games at home.
• Fortaleza have won 7 of their last 9 games at home.
• Fortaleza have won 3 consecutive games at home.

According to the latest odds, there’s a 57.8% likelihood of our pick winning. However, our experts have this number between 60-65% based on their in-depth research. That means we’re regarding it as a value wager.

If you’re expecting Fortaleza to win but also think they’ll keep a clean sheet, then it stands to reason to back the bigger odds on the Result + Both Teams to Score No market.
