APWin experts have analysed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.
Our prediction is: São Bernardo win or draw
The match is an evenly balanced affair with very little difference between the two sides. But the added benefit of home advantage is enough to tilt the scales in São Bernardo's favour.
We recommend betting on São Bernardo to win or draw on the Double Chance market. Since they will be playing in front of their home fans, that should give them that extra boost they need to avoid defeat, which is the only condition to win the bet.
Our prediction is: Ceará to win the 1st half
Ceará 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 Ceará 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.
