Bala Azul vs Cartagena FC tips and predictions

Draw beckons as live underdogs can rally

There's not much between Bala Azul and Cartagena FC in the Tercera RFEF. The hosts are in 13th place with 20 points, compared to their opponents who are in tenth place on 24 points.

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Cartagena FC has made them unbackable. Bala Azul don't look likely to get the win but they might keep the visitors honest. With goals being far from abundant, a scoreless deadlock is the pick but it's certainly not one to go crazy about.

Both sides have reasons to be confident of keeping things tidy at the back. Bala Azul have averaged 0.5 goals in their last 11 home starts which isn't the form they will have wanted. Cartagena FC are averaging 0.5 goals from their last 6 games.

Cartagena FC are the favourites and they'll be eager to keep things tight at the back. It isn't standout value but the No BTTS bet would be prudent. If you're kicking the tyres of the total goals market, it's Under 3.5 goals in this match considering the prices available.

Bala Azul have drawn 4 of their last 10 matches on their own soil. And without much to get stuck into, the feeling is this also ends in stalemate.
