APWin Prediction

Double Chance: Maracanã or Draw

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Iguatu to win the 1st half

Iguatu is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts Maracanã a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Iguatu to win the first half.

👉 Our prediction is: Maracanã 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 Maracanã 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 Maracanã not picking up at least a point in their own stadium. They only need to avoid defeat to Iguatu to win the Double Chance bet, and we think they are more than up to the task.
