After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: Sport Recife win or draw

Sport Recife 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 Fortaleza, our betting tip is Sport Recife 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 Sport Recife emerged victorious against Fortaleza given the quality they've shown, but claiming a point is a much more realistic goal.

👉 Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

It's hard to see too many goals in this match between Fortaleza and Sport Recife given their lack of goalscoring ability.

That is why we project the total to go under 2.5 goals. So if 2 or fewer goals are scored, the bet wins.
