Both clubs arrive with contrasting recent runs – Atletico Paranaense has been erratic, mixing wins and draws, whereas Fluminense has gone unbeaten in their last five league games. The clash pits a solid home defence that concedes just 0.6 goals per game against an away side that has leaked 1.4 goals per match.

Bez's Verdict

Strong
Both teams to score - Yes Won Strong lean Strong · High probability

The model assigns a 57.1% probability to both teams scoring, the highest confidence among available markets.

Show the maths
The model calculates BTTS probability by comparing each team's expected goals – 1.7 for Atletico Paranaense at home and 1.2 for Fluminense away – against their defensive records. Atletico concedes only 0.6 goals per game at home, but Fluminense’s away defence lets in 1.4, meaning the chance of a clean sheet is low. Combining the offensive xG figures with the defensive leakages yields a 57.1% chance of both sides scoring, which is the strongest single‑market signal.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 57.1% model probability

With Atletico Paranaense averaging 1.7 expected goals and Fluminense averaging 1.2, the model gives a 57.1% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 42.9% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Atletico Paranaense 1.7, Fluminense 1.2) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 57.1% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 42.9% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Won 55.4% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.9 (Atletico Paranaense 1.7 + Fluminense 1.2) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 55.4% chance against 44.6% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Atletico Paranaense 1.7 + Fluminense 1.2 = 2.9 combined): 55.4% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 44.6% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Atletico Paranaense at 49.1%, the draw at 23.9%, and Fluminense at 27.0% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 11.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
