⭐ Editor's Prediction
The bookmakers don't expect Operario to have much trouble here, and it's hard to argue. The hosts are in the upper half of the table and still in the promotion race, while Ponte Preta are sitting in the relegation zone. On top of that, the visitors have lost 11 of their last 12 Serie B matches - which tells you everything about the gap in form. A bet on Operario with a -1 handicap makes sense. We expect to see 2-0 on the scoreboard.
