👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Based on our analysis, we are confident that the best bet is to go 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market.

The matchup figures to be a tight, defensive one, with both teams desperate not to get caught out. That's why we see only one or none of the teams finding the back of the net in this encounter, which are the conditions needed to win the bet.

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