Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

We're expecting a relatively tight affair here and, as such, we predict under 2.5 goals. For those unfamiliar with that term, this simply means that 2 goals or less will be scored in total as Cruzeiro and Palmeiras go head-to-head. Clear game plans will be required to deliver us a winner, but we have faith in both sides to deliver precisely that. The statistics and the odds below point in this direction too.

Goal Statistics

Cruzeiro's defensive record is very strong, Sergiy Lavrinenko's men having conceded 1 or less in 8 consecutive Serie A outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for Palmeiras makes sense in this context.
