Leones vs Union Magdalena tips and predictions

Decent tussle in Primera B

On 13 points Leones host Union Magdalena, on 22 points. There are 7 places between these two.

The jury's still out on this one but it should be a good game. The away team has the edge if you're interested in the value.

The hosts have occasionally looked distracted in some of their latest displays. Leones's performances at home have not been great. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 5 home games. Even if they face a depleted side those numbers make this an intriguing match-up. In defence Leones's performances have shown some signs of trouble. They conceded at least once in 12 of their last 13 matches and if they have any selection issues they could be vulnerable again here.

If the away side puts some decent passages together they should prevail. If you consider that Union Magdalena have won their last 4 matches you can see why they pose a threat to this home side. Their best performances have been secured by how they've been playing in the final third. They've scored two or more goals in all of their last 6 games and if they're at their absolute best they can have success here. Their recent defensive prowess could be a key for them too. They have kept a clean sheet in all of their last 3 matches.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the first out of the blocks. The sportsbooks expect goals at both ends of the park as they can both be dangerous in possession. It's not a particulary strong view but the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting on this occasion.
