APWin Prediction

BTTS - Yes

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

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

👉 Our prediction is: Botafogo-SP to win the 1st half

Botafogo-SP will head in to face São Bernardo 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 Botafogo-SP to win the first half because we see decent value in their odds. They still possess enough quality to cause some concern against São Bernardo, at least until half-time.
