1.81total over two goals

Bet on total

Rosario Central is unlikely to take big risks and expose their backs – the Railwaymen play strictly defensively and the price of a mistake is too high today. Fortaleza is also not known for its high scoring, so it is unlikely that there will be a goal-scoring extravaganza in this match.

Bet - total under two goals. This bet is offered for 1.81
