Over 1.5 Goals

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Athletic-MG win or draw

Our top betting tip is Athletic-MG to win or draw on the Double Chance market. What that means is Athletic-MG, 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 Athletic-MG losing to Avaí. 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 Athletic-MG's ability to make home advantage count in this match.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

It's hard to overlook the part that defence will play in this match. The capable defending of both sides will be tough for opposing offences, which is why it could be a low-scoring affair.

That overwhelming defence is also a great reason to go 'no' on the Both teams to score market.
