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.

Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

If you're expecting Cruzeiro vs Barcelona-SC to be a goal fest, think again.

We predict the total to remain under 2.5 goals in this match as neither side figures to have enough attacking firepower to give the opposition's defence much trouble.
