Padova vs Triestina tips and predictions

Triestina to deny the hosts; deadlock beckons

The short price for Padova makes them unbackable. Triestina don't look likely get the job done but they can put up some resistance. With goals being far from abundant, a scoreless deadlock is the pick.

Both sides have reasons to be confident of keeping it tidy in defence. Padova have averaged 0.8 goals in their last 4 home starts which doesn't sound good. Triestina are averaging 0.5 goals from their last 4 games.

In previous matches between these sides 4 of the last 12 have finished on level terms.

Padova are justifiable favourites and it is possible they just don't give anything away. It might not be a popular opinion but the No BTTS bet seems sensible.

Padova have drawn 3 of their last 5 matches on their own soil and Triestina have drawn 10 of their last 18 matches. Their most recent stalemate was when they drew with Piacenza last Monday. It isn't a very exciting prediction and it feels like a match to be nervous about and so the draw warrants consideration. A deadlock is on the cards after what could be a close encounter.
