Padura vs Portugalete tips and predictions

Parity beckons as unfancied hosts can rally

There's not much between Padura and Portugalete in the Tercera RFEF. The hosts are in tenth place with 20 points, compared to their opponents who are in sixth place on 25 points.

There's not much up for grabs in the match winner odds and the short price for Portugalete renders them a horrible bet. Padura don't look likely to go the whole nine yards, but they might keep the visitors on their toes. With goals being far from abundant, a scoreless deadlock is the pick but it's certainly not one to get carried away about.

These sides have not been at their best in front of goal. Padura have scored zero goals in their last 3 home fixtures - and Portugalete have only scored once in their last 3 away games.

Few could argue with the notion that only one side is likely to score because of the favouritism for Portugalete. The No BTTS bet looks like the best play.

Padura have drawn 8 of their last 15 matches, including their most recent match when they drew 0-0 with San Ignacio at home earlier this month. Portugalete have drawn 8 of their last 17 away matches. Their most recent close match was when they drew with Anaitasuna FT last Sunday and while any draw is the pick, a scoreline of 0-0 might be a good shout here. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds, so the draw warrants consideration. Deadlock is the pick after what will probably be a close encounter.
