The 57.3% for Under 2.5 Goals sits against roughly 58.8% implied by the current price (-1.5 pts). The Over 2.5 trend is 40% for Ceara and 40% for Goias, so the goals angle is not just a price call. A home crowd can lift a side, but it can also grow anxious quickly when passes go sideways, chances are delayed, and the opposition.
