Competition: Brazil Serie A

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 5/6 @ 888sport

Two sides who find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of Brazil’s Serie A, Avai will host Atletico-MG on Saturday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Avai might have been last seen snatching another point, they still find themselves firmly at the heart of a relegation scrap. In their 26 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded six wins, seven draws and 13 defeats, scoring 25 and conceding 39 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 25, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat down in 18th and sat three points adrift of finding a route out of the drop zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw at home against Athletico-PR, Avai have now failed to win any of their last nine straight Serie A matchups. Likewise, it should be highlighted, Saturday’s hosts have seen each of their previous five top-flight fixtures finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, although Atletico-MG might still find themselves firmly leading the chase to clinch a Copa Libertadores spot this year, they do have the feel of a side seeking some stability. In their 26 Serie A matchups so far this season, they have recorded 12 wins, seven draws and seven defeats, scoring 31 and conceding 29 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 43, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat sixth in the standings and just two points adrift of breaking into the top-four. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw at home against Bragantino, Atletico-MG have managed to win just a pair of their last 11 matchups across all formats. Likewise, with Saturday’s guests seeing each of their previous six contests finish with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
