APWin Prediction

Over 7.5 Corners

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

👉 Our prediction is: Sporting Cristal to win the 1st half

Sporting Cristal comes into their match with Cerro Porteño with a lot going for them. Apart from being the superior side based on form and statistics, they also have the added advantage of being at home.

The odds for an outright home win on the 1X2 market are not that appealing, so we recommend taking Sporting Cristal to win the first half to get the most value out of your bet.

👉 Our prediction is: over 9.5 corners

Sporting Cristal vs Cerro Porteño figures to be a very up-and-down match between two aggressive sides, so the corners market is quite an attractive one to bet on.

And with odds of 1.72, we are eyeing the over 9.5 corners bet to hit, which means having 10 or more corners for both teams throughout the 90 minutes will win the bet.
