Jaen vs Atletico Melilla tips and predictions

Atletico Melilla can't threaten Jaen

It might not be very long after they line up before the visitors find themselves trailing. An entertaining match awaits, almost certain to deliver some goals so it should make for a good spectacle.

It's second placed Jaen hosting 18th placed Atletico Melilla in this Tercera RFEF clash as the home team looks to add to the 49-point gap between the sides.

The short price for the home side is the only sensible play as their opponents are unlikely to harbour any genuine thoughts of victory.

There is something of a pattern emerging in their recent results. The hosts have logged 7 wins in their last 9 matches. It could also be significant that the visitors have been defeated in 11 of their last 12 matches home and away. Everything points to a further defeat here.

This home side is playing some lovely football and the whole outfit has gelled nicely. Jaen have scored three or more goals in 7 of their recent 18 matches.

Atletico Melilla have been tested in defence when not on their own turf. They've conceded two or more goals in all of their last 5 away matches. If there are issues, maybe they are creeping into the other end of the pitch. Atletico Melilla seemed to have hit a fallow patch. They haven't scored in their last 6 games.

If the betting market is to be believed, only one of these sides is fancied to score due to the vehement favouritism for Jaen. If you don't think both sides will get in on the action then the BTTS No will be for you. In the total goals market, it's fewer than three goals in this game given these prices.
