Monterey Bay vs Colorado Springs tips and predictions

Monterey Bay huge price to cause the upset

For fans of a contrary opinion it might be fun having a cheeky punt on the outsiders.

The hosts go into the match with 9 home wins from their last 14. If Colorado Springs lose this it will be a shock of monumental proportions. But at the price on offer, it's worth a play.

Monterey Bay are going to have to produce something out of this world. If the hosts are to really fancy their chances it will have a lot to do with their recent goal rush. They scored at least once in all of their recent 16 home matches while they've only conceded an average of 0.7 goals over their last 3 games.

There have been passages of play when Colorado Springs have lacked foundations around their 18-yard box. They have conceded two or more goals in 3 of their last 5 matches. Only those wearing rose-tinted glasses will be confident of the upset, but it might happen.

Monterey Bay have won 2 of the last 4 fixtures between these sides. This looks like a perfect scenario for them to add to the head-to-head. They have won before, maybe they can do the impossible this time around.

It might be that the offensive play in the hosts' recent performances will be key to victory. If they are to somehow pull it off, it is essential that they build on this momentum.

If Colorado Springs are to justify their short price they may come out eager to maintain a clean sheet. It isn't a strong view so maybe best to give it a miss but the No BTTS bet is fair enough.
