Our prediction is: Cuiabá win or draw
Going on the Double Chance market is a great way to get a much better shot at winning a bet. And our betting tip of taking Cuiabá or draw in the Double Chance market is about as close to a safe bet as there is.
Based on their impressive home form this season, it's hard to see Cuiabá not picking up at least a point in their own stadium. They only need to avoid defeat to Fortaleza to win the Double Chance bet, and we think they are more than up to the task.
Our prediction is: Cuiabá to win the 1st half
While the half-time market is not a particularly popular betting market, it does provide a good deal of value. And this is true for Cuiabá vs Fortaleza, where we have Cuiabá to win the first half as our best bet.
Cuiabá has been quite a fast starter at home as they quickly put the pressure on their visitors in the opening minutes. That strategy should lead to a Cuiabá taking an advantage into half-time.
