Aragua vs Portuguesa tips and predictions

Compelling Primera Division fixture likely to be close

Aragua and Portuguesa are sharing ninth place with 15 points in Primera Division so it's all to play for and with both sides wanting to make a statement the draw is a decent price.

Arguments can be made for both sides and whatever happens it will not be a surprise to see them cancel each other out. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick and the draw odds available in the match winner market look like pretty good value.

These sides have impressed at the back. Solid on their own soil Aragua have conceded only 3 goals in their last 7 matches, while Portuguesa have only conceded 0.6 goals per game on average in their last 5 away matches.

In previous matches between these sides 6 of the last 12 have ended in a draw.

Don't be disappointed if one of these sides tries to park the bus as the match is likely to be tight. The No BTTS bet would be sensible.

Aragua have drawn 9 of their last 19 matches on their own soil. They drew 1-1 with Metropolitanos last Sunday. Portuguesa have drawn 10 of their last 15 matches. They couldn't put any distance between themselves and Hermanos Colmenares last week. The feeling is it will be a tightly contested match-up but without finding reason to justify a home or away win in the match odds, the guidance has to be with the value you'll get in the draw price.
