Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.265/4 in Chapecoense v Palmeiras

The Big Green take on the Greens in Brazil and Tobias Gourlay thinks it's a game that's going to be lush with entertainment

Chapecoense v Palmeiras
Friday 00:30


Yesterday's bet is still a live one at the time of writing.

But we simply cannot wait to get to Brazil tonight. In eight of the last 10 Campeonato rounds, Chapecoense have helped deliver Over 2.5 Goals and there's a generous price on another high scorer at Arena Conda tonight.

Guto Ferreira's boys have seen 4/7 home games break through the goals barrier this term, as they've managed just a single clean sheet. Running in 11th place, thank goodness the Big Green are the second top scorers (25 goals in 16 games) among teams outside the top six.

Tonight's visitors sit pretty in second and that's largely thanks to an incisive forward line. Palmeiras are top of the overall goalscoring charts (32 in 17) and their away matches are running at almost three match goals a game (23 in 8).

Under Cuca for the first time this season, the Greens have produced Over 2.5 Goals in 6/8 on the road and we fancy them to keep that proud trend going in Chapeco tonight.
