Barbastro vs Barakaldo tips and predictions

Unfancied hosts to show resolve

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Barakaldo makes them a no-bet. Barbastro don't look likely to get the win but they might keep the visitors honest. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

These sides have impressed at the back. Establishing something of a fortress against recent opposition, Barbastro have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 matches, while Barakaldo haven't conceded even once during their most recent 3 away matches.

Don't be disappointed if one of these sides tries to lock this game down because of the favouritism for Barakaldo. Should it play out as many expect then the No BTTS bet could be prudent. And taking a look at the goal line, it's Under 2.5 Goals picked as the best play given the current odds.

Barbastro have drawn 7 of their last 11 matches, including their most recent match when they drew 0-0 with Arenas Club last week. Barakaldo have drawn 7 of their last 16 matches on the road and while any draw will do, a scoreline of 0-0 shouldn't be dismissed here. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds, so the draw is food for thought. Stalemate is the pick after what looks set to be a tightly contested match-up.
