Thu 16th Oct, 01:30 BST, Arena MRV, Belo Horizonte

We have predictions, tips, and odds from leading bookmakers and head-to-head statistics across all the main betting markets, so there really is only one place to get ready for this Serie A clash.


Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A tight, highly tactical defensive battle could be in store as A Mineiro and Cruzeiro go head-to-head, with almost nothing between the teams in terms of who might win. The statistics don't provide any proper confidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the fixture. That's a prediction available at best priced odds of 1.48 with the bookies, so we're making under 2.5 goals our tip of the day on this one.
