1st Half Under 1.5 Goals

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

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

👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

Our top betting tip for Palmeiras vs Cerro Porteño is to take under 9.5 corners on the corners market. We see great value in this market compared to more popular betting markets, which you can capitalise upon.

Our analysis shows a low likelihood of high-level attacking play between the two sides, so there is a strong chance that the under will come in well below the maximum of 9 corners needed to win the bet.
