Is there a way to continue without guessing?

either

turbot fish: 2 in rows 2 and 7 => r1c2,r8c1 =/= 2

or

unique rectangle: 58 r89c27 => r9c2 =/= 58

Alternatively, you can solve this using a bug technique.
if the candidate 5 in r9c2 and candidate 2 in r1c1 is removed, it will turn into a bug situation. So, either candidate must be present. And candidate 5 at r9c2 implies candidate 2 at r1c2. So, you can remove any candidates with digit 2 at row 1 and the top-left home, except for these two solutions.
