Barranquilla vs Cortulua tips and predictions

Draw beckons as home outsiders can rally

There's not much between Barranquilla and Cortulua in the Primera B. The hosts are in tenth place with 8 points, compared to their opponents who are in sixth place on 13 points.

There's not much up for grabs in the match winner odds and the short price for Cortulua renders them a horrible bet. Barranquilla don't look likely to go the whole hog and get the win, but they might keep the visitors on their toes. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Establishing something of a fortress at home, Barranquilla have conceded only 2 goals in their last 8 matches, while Cortulua have conceded only 1 goal in their last 4 matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 4 of the last 12 have ended in parity.

Perhaps things fail to ignite because of the favouritism for Cortulua. In the Both Teams To Score market, the No option is the pick. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's Under 2.5 goals that's the play considering the odds that are available.

Barranquilla have drawn 7 of their last 12 matches, including their most recent match when they drew 1-1 with Real Santander last week. Cortulua have drawn 5 of their last 13 away matches. It isn't very exciting and it feels like a match to sit on the fence about. The draw is the pick after what looks likely to be a tightly contested match-up.
