Audax Italiano vs Cobresal tips and predictions

Quality on offer in Primera Division

With just 2 points between them it's 13th placed Audax Italiano versus 14th placed Cobresal.

A home win is the pick as long as they don't take a half-baked approach to the task in hand.

You may disagree but Audax Italiano might have reasons to be confident about adding to Cobresal's recent defeats. The visitors come into the match with 5 losses from their last 6 away matches. This doesn't look like the recent record of a squad that will fancy their chances.

Several analysts have written about the visitors' supposed rearguard weaknesses. Cobresal have conceded two or more goals in 9 of their last 12 matches. And in the final third the visitors haven't been making the most of their talent. They've been goalless in 5 of their last 7 away matches.

Audax Italiano have won 8 of the last 10 fixtures between these sides. Maybe the form book can go out the window, but the head-to-head stats show how well they have done before. In their last match Audax Italiano blitzed Cobreloa, ultimately winning 3-0.

It's possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side starts the match more brightly. Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out in a war of attrition. There are better value picks elsewhere but the No BTTS bet seems to be the best idea for this one.
