Santos Cruzeiro betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This will be a match between two great teams, but that are in different situations this season. Santos is having gerat campaigns in the previous years, with many titles, as they managed to win the Brazil Cup in 2010, the Libertadores in 2011 and the Recopa Sulamericana in 2012, and still managed to be runner up in the league last year. Cruzeiro didn't manage to win their regional league and were eliminated in the early stages of the Copa Sulamericana. However, both teams have very weak attacks. So we should back a low scoring match.
