APWin Prediction

HT/FT - X/2

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

👉 Our prediction is: Bangu win or draw

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

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams to score

The best betting option for Maricá vs Bangu is the Both Teams to Score market - BTTS. After all, both teams need to seek victory and shouldn't 'park the bus' waiting for the opponent.

But that's not the only reason we believe in a game with goals for both teams. We also see value odds in the BTTS market when we have two offensive teams, as is the case with Maricá and Bangu in this game.

To guarantee a win on Both Teams to Score, as the name suggests, we need both Maricá and Bangu to score goals.
