What to expect

We expect about 1.1 goals from Criciuma and 0.7 from Fortaleza, so Criciuma come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 1.8 goals in the game, so we are braced for a tight one where good chances are rare.

Fortaleza come into this on two straight draws. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Criciuma (Draw No Bet). Criciuma are favoured here (xG 1.1-0.7), and draw-no-bet takes the sting out of it: if the game finishes level your stake comes back, so only a Criciuma defeat beats you.

We put the chance of that landing at about 71 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.38, which works out at about 72 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

What the numbers say
Criciuma have won one of their last five.
Fortaleza have won two of their last five.

One thing to watch

A draw hands your stake back, so only an outright Fortaleza win beats you — but on the day nothing is guaranteed. We make it about 71% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
