ABC v Mirassol
Tuesday 10 October, (01:30, Wed)

With a daily football props column, every now and again you get a day where there's a real lack of choice. Tuesday is that day.

It's international week but the national-team battles don't start until Wednesday.

We do have the EFL Trophy but despite the carrot of a possible Wembley final, it's a competition which usually sees a raft of team changes by the League One and Two managers and, as with the Carabao Cup, I'm loath to get involved unless there's a real nugget of team news which the layers have missed - a rarity in this day and age.

Instead, I'm going to head to Brazil's Serie B in which two sides with contrasting form will go head to head.

Leg 1: Mirassol to win

Hosts ABC are in deep relegation trouble - indeed the game already looks up with the Natal-based side 13 points from safety with just seven games remaining.

Visitors Mirassol are involved at the other end of the table, just five points off a promotion spot. Having won four of their last five, they'll be confident of being able to close that gap over the next month or so.

The form certainly suggests an away win, which is on offer at 11/10.

Leg 2: Both teams to score 'no'

ABC have lost 17 of their 31 games so far, scoring only 19 goals in the process.

Eleven of those 17 have seen them fail to score and that's our Bet Builder angle here.

A Mirassol win added to the both-teams-to-score 'no' option almost doubles the odds and looks worth chancing.

The visitors' last four wins have all come 'to nil', while they've kept a clean sheet in five of their last six and eight of their last 13. A goals-against figure of 26 is the same as leaders Vitoria.

As for ABC, they've managed just four goals in their last seven games and with hope of survival slipping away, it's not hard to envisage another toothless display against superior opposition here.
