What to expect

We expect about 1.1 goals from Cruzeiro and 1.2 from Palmeiras, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.2 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

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

Our pick: Under 3.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.2 goals in total (xG 1.1-1.2), keeping it under more often than not (about 81%). Clear chances should be at a premium.

We put the chance of that landing at about 79 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.37, which works out at about 73 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

What the numbers say
✓Cruzeiro have won four of their last five.
✓Palmeiras are unbeaten in their last five — four wins and one draw.
✓Three of the last five meetings finished under 2.5 goals.
✓Both teams scored in three of the last five meetings.

Internacional are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.9-0.9), and we make them about 61% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
