Lorca Deportiva vs Marbella tips and predictions

Tough assignment for Lorca Deportiva

Lorca Deportiva might have their backs to the wall in no time. However, the hosts have chalked up 3 wins in their last 5 matches while the visitors have lost 7 of their last 14 matches home and away. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this. If you believe the experts, Marbella have won this before a ball has even been kicked. However it's worth looking a little closer at how these sides measure up.

Lorca Deportiva are going to need some tremendously good fortune on their side. If the hosts can somehow influence the destiny of the match, it will have a lot to do with their growing goal tally. They have scored two or more goals in all of their recent 3 home matches.

The attacking form shown by the visitors has been short of quality. They netted an average of just 0.7 goals in their last 9 matches.

No one will be surprised if one of these sides tries to close the game down because of the obvious favouritism for Marbella. But the odds-against for the BTTS Yes makes more sense. As far as the total goals line goes, it's Over 2.5 standing out in this one considering how that market has been priced up.
