Party's Over: There could be a quiet 45 minutes in Brazil tonight

"Juventude have been level pegging at half-time in eight of their 10 Serie B matches this season"

Back Half Time Draw @ 2.245/4 in Juventude v Goias

The Parakeets won't chirp until late into the Brazilian night, says Tobias Gourlay

Juventude v Goias
Tuesday 23:15

The news was bad for us yesterday, as Avai sprung a big summer surprise with a 2-0 win at Botafogo.

We're staying in Brazil today, but dropping down a level. Juventude's Serie B match with Goias promises to be a slow burner.

Second-placed Juventude have seen just 21 goals across the first 10 rounds of the season, and the entertainment could be a long time coming this evening. The Parakeets have been level pegging at half-time in eight of those 10 matches.

Goias, meanwhile, have a solid W2-D2-L1 away record and should be hard to break down. Home and away, six of the Big Green's last eight league outings have been all square at the break.

Both of those records say there is value in the odds-against prices about another half-time draw at the Alfredo Jaconi tonight.
