Under 2.5 goals
Another important aspect to consider is the tactical matchup. Both teams, given their current dynamics and recent performances, seem more focused on not conceding rather than playing open, attacking football. Fluminense has the technical superiority, but there is no real necessity for them to push aggressively from the first minute, especially if they believe they can patiently break down Aparecidense over time without exposing themselves defensively. Aparecidense, for their part, will be looking to drag the game into a more physical and tactical battle, minimizing goal opportunities on both sides.
