The scoring averages are also modest: Cerrito average 1.4 goals per home game, while Deportivo Maldonado average 1.4 per away game, and both teams concede around one goal or fewer. Taken together, these factors provide a solid basis for a low-scoring prediction. Our selection: Total Goals - Under 2.5 at 1.62*.
Risky Bet
Cerrito have scored in seven consecutive home matches, which points to their ability to find the net regularly on their own ground. Their average home scoring rate is 1.4 goals per game.

The bet on Cerrito Team Total - Over 1 at 2.65* is therefore a risky one and the contradictions need to be taken into account.
Reliable Bet
