Under 2.5 Goals Predictions

Flamengo’s recent attacking surge — highlighted by multiple high-scoring displays — makes them strong favourites to consolidate their top-spot ambitions, and their current confidence should translate well here. While Fluminense remain competitive, their blunt frontline doesn’t inspire belief that they can truly trouble the in-form Rubro-Negro.

Santos went under 2.5 goals in six out of the last seven home games. They weren't particularly impressive offensively, scoring one or zero goals in seven out of the previous eight home games. Also, Mirassol have struggled on the road, failing to score in three out of the last four games. Also, they are averaging around one goal per game fewer on the road. 

Both teams struggled on offense in recent weeks. Gremio scored two goals in the last three matches, while Vasco da Gama scored only one goal in the same span. With those trends, it seems unlikely that we will see more than two goals in this match. 

Despite both sides being involved in high-scoring fixtures early in the season, the stakes here are considerably higher, and caution should dictate the tempo. Twente Women have finished three of their last six matches with identical 1–1 draws, while Atletico Madrid Femenino have produced the same result in half of their previous six away games. With both teams showing a recent tendency toward tight, controlled battles, a low-scoring contest appears likely.

Juventude is the second-worst attacking team in Serie A, with 29 goals scored in 33 matches. On the other hand, Cruzeiro conceded only three goals in the previous eight games. With those trends, it seems unlikely that we will see more than two goals on Thursday, Caxias do Sul.
