What to expect
We expect about 1.5 goals from Cruzeiro and 0.9 from Sao Paulo, so Cruzeiro come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Sao Paulo come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Cruzeiro to win. Cruzeiro are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.5-0.9), and we make them about 54% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 53 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.79, which works out at about 56 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
