Our prediction is: Cruzeiro win or draw

Cruzeiro has been a thorn in the side of many teams of late, and even away from home, they are quite a dangerous opponent for anyone. So as they travel to face Coritiba, our betting tip is Cruzeiro win or draw on the Double Chance market, which means they can either win or draw for the bet to win.

It would honestly not be that big of a surprise if Cruzeiro emerged victorious against Coritiba given the quality they've shown, but claiming a point is a much more realistic goal.

Our prediction is: Coritiba to win the 1st half

Coritiba has been a strong home team overall this season, and the statistics point to them being particularly quick to pounce in the opening 45 minutes. Whether that aggressive mentality is due to the energy of the home crowd or an intentional plan on the part of the manager, it has proven to be very effective.

We foresee that plan paying off once again in their match against Cruzeiro, so our top tip is for Coritiba to win the first half.
