Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It's not the news we want to be reporting, but it's all-but impossible to predict a thriller here. The statistics suggest Vasco d Gama and Fortaleza both struggle to score on a consistent basis, and the odds suggest it's likely there's fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're on the right track here and, in the absence of obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals looks like a smart bet.
