👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

After analysing the odds in the different markets, our best betting tip for this match is on the corners market and taking the total to go under 9.5 corners.

We anticipate CRB vs Cruzeiro to be quite a controlled match with the main action concentrated in the middle of the pitch. That should limit the number of opportunities for corners, and so the odds of 1.82 for 9 corners or fewer looks quite attractive.

👉 Our prediction is: CRB win or draw

Our top betting tip is CRB to win or draw on the Double Chance market. What that means is CRB, the home team, must win or draw for the bet to win, and we feel strongly that the match will end in one of those two outcomes.

We simply don't see CRB losing to Cruzeiro. More than the gulf in quality between the two sides which is clear to see in the statistics, we also have a lot of belief in CRB's ability to make home advantage count in this match.
