Predictions to consider: - Primary: Santos to win (1.82). - Alternative exposure: Draw or Santos win (Double Chance 1.30) gives security without sacrificing upside. - Total goals: Over 2.5 (2.05) aligns with the matchup’s 2.1–2.3 expected total and the historical 1st-half over 0.5/1.5 tendencies. - BTTS: Yes (1.85) fits the mid-range probability and the attacking tempo expected in a home-friendly fixture. - Corners: Over 9.5 corners (2.11) is a value play given the typical corner cadence; or back Santos to have the most corners (1.54) for a targeted angle.
