Odds: Club Cruzeiro (4/11) Draw (7/2) Portuguesa (8/1)Gamingtips Prediction – Cruzeiro 3:1 Portuguesa
Cruzeiro have lost just 3 games in 24 and have conceded just 20 goals.
Portugesa score and concede more than one goal per game on average and their biggest test will be breaking down a defense that concedes less than one goal per game on average while not conceding themselves.
7 points separated these two sides last season however Cruzeiro are already 22 points ahead of Portuguesa and seemingly cruising to a title success.
Strictly on form figures, Cruzeiro should have enough to overcome Portugesa however odds of 4/11 are very short based on last years finishing positions.
