Back Draw or Independiente Rivadavia at 2.38 — an 18-point edge over the market's implied probability, driven by the visitors' unbeaten H2H record and Fluminense's inconsistent home form.

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals also offer value, but avoid the short-priced first-half goals market and the Fluminense -1 handicap.
