Bez's Verdict

Lean
Over 2.5 goals Lost Solid lean Lean · Slight edge

With an expected combined goal output of 2.7 and a model probability of 50.6% for over 2.5, the match is primed to produce more than two goals.

Show the maths
The model assigns Atletico Paranaense 1.7 expected goals and RB Bragantino 1.0, summing to 2.7 total. Because the combined xG exceeds the 2.5 threshold, the algorithm calculates a 50.6% chance for over 2.5 goals. This probability is the highest among the markets, giving the over‑2.5 pick the clearest statistical advantage.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 51.7% model probability

With Atletico Paranaense averaging 1.7 expected goals and RB Bragantino averaging 1.0, the model gives a 51.7% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 48.3% 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, RB Bragantino 1.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 51.7% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 48.3% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Lost 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Atletico Paranaense 1.7 + RB Bragantino 1.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Atletico Paranaense 1.7 + RB Bragantino 1.0 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% 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 53.8%, the draw at 24.0%, and RB Bragantino at 22.2% to win.
