Flamengo exceeded the 2.5 total only once out of five, while Estudiantes didn't manage any. Odds for over 1.5 goals are 1.33, and over 2.0 goals stand at 1.58. Neither team managed to surpass the 1.5 total in the first half (0 out of 5), while in the second half, it was 1 out of 5. Flamengo most frequently scores in the first 15 minutes (50%), while Estudiantes scores between the 31-45 and 46-60 minute marks (50% each). Both teams tend to concede late: Flamengo 60% of goals between 76-90 minutes, Estudiantes 40% in the same interval. Given Estudiantes' low scoring and Flamengo's not particularly high scoring, along with frequent unders on the 2.5 total, betting on both teams not to score at 1.52 seems logical. Both teams have hit the under on the 2.5 total in their last five matches (Estudiantes 5 out of 5 under, Flamengo 4 out of 5 under), and the average goals scored don't exceed 1, further supporting this choice.
Flamengo averages 5.6 corners per match, Estudiantes 4.2. In their last five games, Flamengo surpassed the 9.5 corner total twice, Estudiantes once. Among the available corner totals, the 9.5 line is closest to their combined average (9.8), with odds of 2.00 for over 9.5 and 1.96 for under. Flamengo is favored in corner outcomes with odds of 1.23. Considering both teams' activity on corner deliveries and the frequency of surpassing the 9.5 total, betting on over 9.5 corners seems justified for this match. Additionally, Flamengo's higher average corner count could influence the distribution of deliveries in favor of the Brazilian team.
