Sporting Cristal vs Emelec Guayaquil Prediction

For this Copa Sudamericana fixture we go with Over 2.5 goals for Sporting Cristal vs Emelec Guayaquil, at 99% confidence. In their last 5 matches, Sporting Cristal's games produced 1.4 goals on average, 1 of them over 2.5. Emelec Guayaquil's games averaged 2.8, with 3 of 5 over the line. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 4 of the 10 recent games went over 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Over 2.5.

The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. At 99%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 0-1. The pick lost.
