Picks of the day
Shamrock Rovers vs Drogheda United, over 2.5 goals @ 1.67.
The selected market requires at least three goals in the Shamrock Rovers vs Drogheda United match. The pick carries a 90% confidence rating. This is a League of Ireland Premier Division fixture at Tallaght Stadium in Dublin, with an 8pm BST kick-off on Friday 9 October. Rovers’ most recent home meeting with Drogheda ended 4-1 on 4 May 2026, and the sides’ most recent league meeting in Drogheda finished goalless on 31 July. Rovers have won 16 of the last 25 meetings between the clubs, and their back-to-back league results in this fixture last season produced 2-1 and 3-0 scorelines. With Rovers playing at home and the head-to-head showing goals when they are at Tallaght, three or more is a sound angle.
Santos vs Flamengo, over 8.5 corners @ 1.55.
The selection requires at least nine corners across the Santos vs Flamengo match. At 95%, this is the highest-confidence selection among today’s listed picks. The Round 29 Brasileirão fixture is at the Estádio Urbano Caldeira, known as Vila Belmiro, in Santos. Flamengo sit second in the table and are among the most attacking sides in the division, with Pedro, Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Samuel Lino expected to lead their line, and they beat Santos 3-1 in the first meeting this season at the Maracanã. Santos have been inconsistent and are in the lower half of the table, which points to a game where Flamengo hold most of the possession and Santos defend deep. That pattern tends to push the corner count up.
Fluminense vs Coritiba, over 2.5 goals @ 1.90.
This market requires at least three goals in the Fluminense vs Coritiba fixture. The selection has an 85% confidence rating. The Round 29 Brasileirão match is at the Estádio do Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro. Fluminense are fourth with 48 points from 28 games, while Coritiba are ninth with 38 points and a negative goal difference of six. The first meeting this season, at the Couto Pereira on 4 April, finished 1-1 after a lively second half in which both teams scored. With Fluminense pushing for a top-four finish at home and Coritiba conceding goals on the road, a game with three or more goals is plausible.
