Tip and bets

Tiptotal over two goals

1.69

Fortaleza lost the first leg by two goals and will need to take risks today; there’s no other way to stage a comeback. Despite a minor dip in form, the Tricolores are generally effective in attack and capable of scoring. They netted goals in their last three encounters against Corinthians. However, Fortaleza has conceded in 17 consecutive away matches, and Timão is well-equipped to respond.

We believe this match will see plenty of action. Our prediction is over two goals. This bet comes with odds of 1.69.

Match Outcome Bet

Fortaleza is currently focused on the championship title race and after a 0-2 home defeat, their chances of success in the Copa Sudamericana are quite slim. Corinthians is unlikely to just defend their lead; they will have plenty of opportunities to attack as their opponents might leave gaps in their defense. The home team is certainly capable of winning the return match.
