What to expect
We expect about 1.1 goals from Santos and 1.7 from Flamengo RJ, so Flamengo RJ come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Santos come into this on three straight wins. Flamengo RJ come into this on five straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Flamengo RJ to win. Flamengo RJ shade this one on the numbers (xG 1.1-1.7), and we make them about 51% to win. They look the better bet on the road, and backing them outright is the straightforward way in.
We put the chance of that landing at about 50 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.84, which works out at about 54 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
