Guarani vs Ituano Betting Tips: UNDER 2.5

While they've navigated previous seasons stress-free, this year has proven to be a different story for Guarani, who find themselves in dire straits and appear headed for the drop, sitting rock bottom with a paltry four points garnered from their opening 10 matches in the second division.

Although the season has only reached its first third, the six-point gap to the safety zone isn't alarming yet, but Burge's recent form certainly is, having squandered leads twice last week only to suffer a heartbreaking 2-3 defeat to Avai, extending their losing run to three matches.

The comeback at Brinco de Ouro de Princesa offers a ray of optimism, as Umberto Louzer's men have taken all four points at home, but they have gone three matches with no wins since defeating Botafogo SP 2-0 on May 11, which remains their lone victory this term.

On their part, Ituano are going through an equally terrible start as Wednesday's opposition and all indications are that they are set for another torrid battle to stay afloat after barely retaining Brasileiro Serie B status last term, finishing just three points clear of the relegated sides.

A meager haul of six points from their opening 10 fixtures in the second division, a result of two wins and eight losses, sees the Rooster of Itu occupy second-worst position on the table, four points behind Botafogo in the final safe seat, but having one played match more.

Defensive woes continue to haunt Alberto Valentin's squad of late, conceding an astonishing total of eight goals in their last two outings in the Campeonato Serie B, with five coming in their most recent league match, succumbing to a goal-rich 3-5 defeat against Paysandu.

Having taken all their points on home turf this term, Guarani will see this match as a chance to bag some points against fellow struggles Ituano, who have returned empty-handed from all four of their road fixtures. However, given Bugre's abysmal offensive output — netting just six times to date, the lowest in the division — it seems likely that a solitary goal could decide this basement battle.
