Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A tight, highly tactical defensive battle could be in store as Cruzeiro and Vasco d Gama go head-to-head, with almost nothing between the sides in defence, making it difficult to predict who will win. The stats don't supply any conclusive evidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the game. It's a prediction which is available at best priced odds of 1.48 with the bookmakers, so we make under 2.5 goals our tip of the day on this occasion.
