Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

After scanning the different markets for Maranhão vs Itabaiana, we find that under 9.5 corners is the most eye-catching bet based on the playing profile of the two sides.

Our prediction is: Both teams to score

The match between Maranhão and Itabaiana has all the necessary ingredients for plenty of goals. And of course: for both sides - and that's the focus of our bet here.

Therefore, we believe that the Both Teams to Score market is the best recommendation here, as the attacks are working well and, on some occasions, the defenses have been making mistakes.
