Brilliant Orange: Cruzeiro games very regularly deliver Over 2.5 Goals

"Cruzeiro look good for at least a couple: they have scored twice or more in 15/20 at Estadio Mineirao, while Flamengo have conceded at least twice in 9/11"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.245/4 in Cruzeiro v Flamengo

Tobias Gourlay's riding the night train to Brazil as Cruzeiro take drastic action to overcome a poor start to the new season

Cruzeiro v Flamengo
Thursday 02:00

A push in Sweden last night as J-Sodra were held to a 1-1 draw by Sirius.

Tonight we're headed to Brazil, where the new Serie A seasons is but a few games old and champions Cruzeiro have made an underwhelming start.

The Foxes have failed to win any of their first four games (W0-D1-L3), conceding in both of their first two in Belo Horizonte. That'll be why they've just replaced Marcelo Oliveira with old Wanderlei Luxemburgo.

On home turf, that's a total of 10 games without a clean sheet and they look vulnerable hosting a Flamengo side that has scored in 13/15.

At the other end, however, Cruzeiro look good for at least a couple: they have scored twice or more in 15/20 at Estadio Mineirao, while Flamengo have conceded at least twice in 9/11.

This season, two previous away games have brought 1-2 defeats and a similar result is very much on the cards overnight.

We're concentrating on goals, however. And the topline numbers you need are these: 25/40 Cruzeiro home games (under Oliveira) and 10/11 Flamengo road matches have delivered Over 2.5 Goals.
