Mes Kerman vs Astara tips and predictions

Mes Kerman hold all the aces against Astara but no great value in odds

With 29 points Mes Kerman are hosting 17-point Astara. There are 9 places between the two clubs.

This is an unenthusiastic view as there's not much to go on. It's hard to see anything bar a home win but their short price is not hugely attractive. It's just that Astara aren't likely to pose a legitimate threat to this side.

The hosts have bagged 6 wins in their last 7 matches. Enjoying less success than expected, the travelling side has been patchy. They've lost 13 of their recent 17 matches on the road. They will struggle here too.

The hosts are making the most of a recent run of form and they've been solving a lot of problems. Mes Kerman scored at least once in 18 of their recent 19 matches and they've not been handing out freebies, letting in only 3 goals in their last 10 games.

Netting an average of just 0.5 goals in their last 12 matches, Astara have underdelivered at times. Despite these stats suggesting they are struggling to find form, the visitors should not be entirely ruled out. You shouldn't count on it though.

The sportsbooks' prices suggest that one of these sides doesn't look likely to score in a match that's played on Mes Kerman's terms. But the odds-against for the BTTS Yes provides a lot more value.
