Football Bet of the Day: Dragon to fight fire with fire in Brazil

Figueirense v Atletico GO
Friday 23:15

In Italy last night, Cittadella notched a rare clean sheet and their 2-0 win over Verona left us a goal short of where we needed to be.

We move on to Brazil for the first of tonight's games from the country's second-tier Serie B. Since the start of last season, more Figueirense home games and more Atletico GO away games have produced Over 2.5 Goals than not. And yet, with the pair set to go toe-to-toe at the Orlando Scarpelli, that outcome is available at a very appealing 2.506/4.

Both teams have scored in 11 of the Fig Tree's most recent 14 home matches, with the hosts finding the back of the net at least twice in 6/8. At the other end, they have conceded at least twice in 7/9, so we see a couple of ways for tonight's match to deliver the three match goals we're looking for.

Visiting Atletico GO have served up Over 2.5 Goals in 13/20 on the road in Serie B. The Dragon have conceded at least twice in 10/20 and scored at least twice in 9/20. By being competent up top and shaky at the back, they too offer a couple of different routes to Over 2.5 Goals, so we are delighted to make that bet at a juicy odds-against price.
