APWin Prediction

BTTS - Yes

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

👉 Our prediction is: Avaí to win the 1st half

Avaí will head in to face Ponte Preta with a tough task as the away side. Their recent results and performances have been far from impressive, but in our opinion, they are being a bit too underestimated.

We are tipping Avaí to win the first half because we see decent value in their odds. They still possess enough quality to cause some concern against Ponte Preta, at least until half-time.

👉 Our prediction is: Draw

This matchup between Ponte Preta and Avaí has all the makings of a hard-fought stalemate, so our top tip for the match is to bet on the draw on the 1X2 market.

Neither side is particularly appealing to bet on to win given their uneven form of late. And we also see great value in the 2.9 odds for a draw, which is hard to pass up.
