What to expect

We expect about 1.5 goals from Mirassol and 1.3 from Botafogo RJ, so Mirassol come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

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

Our pick: Over 2.5 goals. This should be an open game: we make it around 2.8 goals between the two (xG 1.5-1.3), landing about 48% of the time on these numbers. Both sides carry a threat, so the goals should follow.

We put the chance of that landing at about 45 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.90, which works out at about 53 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

Gremio are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.7-1.1), and we make them about 51% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
