In the Brazilian Serie B on April 12, Operario will face Cuiaba. Bookmakers favor Operario: their win is priced at 1.94, a draw at 3.12, and a Cuiaba victory at 4.20. The probabilities of outcomes are as follows: Operario - 47.99%, draw - 29.84%, Cuiaba - 22.17%. These figures highlight Operario's advantage, though the gap between a draw and a Cuiaba win isn't huge, adding some intrigue to the match. The odds for total goals and both teams to score are also worth noting, considering Cuiaba's low scoring in recent games.
Operario has been showing strong form in their last five matches: a draw with Avai (0-0), victories over Sao Bernardo (2-1), Atletico Goianiense (1-0), Londrina (1-0), and Ferroviaria (2-1). In contrast, Cuiaba has only one win in their last five games: a loss to Ceara (0-2), draws with Fortaleza (0-0) and Sport Recife (0-0), a win over Criciuma (1-0), and a draw with America Mineiro (1-1). Their last head-to-head ended in a 1-1 draw (14.09.2025). Additional metrics show Operario averages 48.2% possession over 5 matches, receives 2.8 yellow cards, commits 15.4 fouls, and has 1 offside. Cuiaba averages 50% possession, 1.6 yellow cards, 15.4 fouls, and 1.2 offsides. Operario is notably more active in corners with 5.6 compared to Cuiaba's 1.4, which could impact the game's dynamics.
Total statistics indicate a cautious style from both teams. Operario averages 1.6 total goals per game in their last five matches, scoring 1.2 and conceding 0.4 per game. Cuiaba is even lower, with an average of 1 total goal per game, scoring 0.4 and conceding 0.6. For over 2.5 goals: Operario has 2 out of 5, Cuiaba has 0 out of 5. In the first half, Operario went over 1.5 goals only once, and Cuiaba never. In the second half, Operario has 1 out of 5 over 1.5, Cuiaba has 2 out of 5. This is confirmed by goal intervals: Operario scores most often late (76-90 minutes, 50%), Cuiaba between 46-60 minutes (50%). In terms of conceding: Operario concedes throughout the first half and late in the game, Cuiaba in the second half (46-90 minutes, 33% each of the three intervals). All this points to low scoring, especially from Cuiaba, supporting a bet on under 2.5 goals. The odds for this event are 1.50, making it an optimal choice given the current team profiles. Notably, based on average goal stats and over 2.5 frequencies, both teams tend to play low-scoring matches, with Cuiaba hardly scoring.
In terms of corners, Operario significantly outperforms Cuiaba: averaging 5.6 compared to 1.4. Over the last five matches, Operario has exceeded the total corners over 9.5 four times, while Cuiaba only once. The line offers a couple of totals for corners: over 9.5 is priced at 1.96, under 9.5 at 1.75. For corner outcomes, Operario is favored with odds of 1.76. Given the difference in averages and frequencies, it's logical to consider a bet on Operario's individual corner total over 5, as well as the overall total over 9.5. However, Cuiaba's low corner activity could limit the overall figure if Operario doesn't deliver many set pieces. Overall, the advantage in corners is on Operario's side, and betting on their dominance in this component seems justified.
