Our prediction is: Náutico win or draw

Our top betting tip is Náutico to win or draw on the Double Chance market. What that means is Náutico, the home team, must win or draw for the bet to win, and we feel strongly that the match will end in one of those two outcomes.

We simply don't see Náutico losing to Athletic-MG. More than the gulf in quality between the two sides which is clear to see in the statistics, we also have a lot of belief in Náutico's ability to make home advantage count in this match.
