Our prediction is: Paysandu to win the 1st half
Paysandu will head in to face Caxias with a tough task as the away side. Their recent results and performances have been far from impressive, but in our opinion, they are being a bit too underestimated.
We are tipping Paysandu to win the first half because we see decent value in their odds. They still possess enough quality to cause some concern against Caxias, at least until half-time.
Our prediction is: Both teams don't score
Looking at the current form of both teams, betting the 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market seems like the smart way to go.
It's hard to see both teams getting goals in this match. The two defences have been quite solid, while the offences have had a hard time in front of goal. With that combination, this match could very well be a low-scoring affair with one or none of the teams finding the back of the net.
