If you’re playing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Maringá Futebol Clube at 1.98 to win feels a tad skinny given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the Serie C this term. Their underlying numbers suggest they’re riding luck — analytics guys would steer clear.
Ponte Preta’s 3.77 line tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
The smart money’ll likely target the Draw 3.14 — these big games often play out tight, and nerves can stifle attacking flow.
