REF’s picks

Avaí host Londrina in a crucial relegation six-pointer where neither side can afford a slip, but the hosts hold the cleaner tactical setup to edge it. Backing Over 2.25 goals catches a game where two porous defenses deep in the drop zone will likely force an open affair once the deadlock breaks.

1. 1Both teams sit in the relegation zone with defensive frailties that routinely gift goals to opponents.
2. 2Londrina's recent matches have seen plenty of action, including a chaotic 3-2 reverse against Avaí earlier in the campaign.
3. 3The immense pressure of a basement battle can occasionally cause early defensive panic and open up the game completely.
