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

👉 Our prediction is: Academia Puerto Cabello win or draw

Even though Academia Puerto Cabello will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on Academia Puerto Cabello to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

Academia Puerto Cabello does have its share of flaws, but Atlético-MG has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to Academia Puerto Cabello.

👉 Our prediction is: Atlético-MG to win the 1st half

Atlético-MG comes into their match with Academia Puerto Cabello with a lot going for them. Apart from being the superior side based on form and statistics, they also have the added advantage of being at home.

The odds for an outright home win on the 1X2 market are not that appealing, so we recommend taking Atlético-MG to win the first half to get the most value out of your bet.
