The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.
Our prediction is: Cruzeiro to win the 1st half
Cruzeiro 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 Goiás, so our top tip is for Cruzeiro to win the first half.
Our prediction is: Cruzeiro to win
In all honesty, there is no other result we can foresee for this match other than Cruzeiro to win outright, which is our betting tip.
Cruzeiro's strong form this season, particularly at home, is hard to overlook, as are Goiás's shaky overall results and performances of late. And we expect the two sides to play true to form when they meet for their upcoming match.
