"Five of Santos' last seven away games have produced three goals or more"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.3211/8 in Atletico PR v Santos

The Hurricane will blow and blow in Brazil this evening and Tobias Gourlay's along for the ride

Atletico PR v Santos
Saturday 22:30

A shock for Cork City as they went down 3-2 at home to Limerick last night. But not for us - and we did try to warn them.

We're back to Brazil today as seventh-placed Atletico PR entertain 13th-ranked Santos.

So far this season the hosts have scored in all nine of their appearances in Curitiba's Arena da Baixada. They start as favourites against a Santos side that has conceded the joint most away goals in the Campeonato (17 in nine games, with at least two in five of the last seven).

The Fish might not be blown away by the Hurricane, however. The visitors have scored five more goals than anyone else in the bottom half, striking at least once in 6/9 road games. Five of the last seven have brought Over 2.5 Goals in total.

Since 2010, all eight Campeonato head-to-heads between these two have delivered at least two goals and 4/8 have gone Over 2.5 Goals.
