Racing Murcia vs Ciudad Cieza tips and predictions

Motivated Racing Murcia to show resolve

There's not much up for grabs in the 1X2 odds and the short price for Ciudad Cieza makes them a terrible bet. Racing Murcia don't look likely to get the win but they might keep the visitors on their toes. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. Looking solid at home Racing Murcia have conceded at an average of just 0.6 goals per game over their last 5 matches. Meanwhile Ciudad Cieza have conceded only 1 goal in their last 7 matches on the road.

In previous matches between these sides the last 3 have all ended in a draw.

If the betting market is to be believed, only one of these sides is fancied to score because of the favouritism for Ciudad Cieza. In the Both Teams To Score market, the No option is advised.

Racing Murcia have drawn 5 of their last 11 matches, most recently when they drew 1-1 with EG El Palmar CF last week. Ciudad Cieza have drawn 7 of their last 13 matches on the road. They shared the spoils with Deportiva Minera last Sunday. It isn't very exciting and it feels like a match to be circumspect about. The draw is the pick after what could be a tightly contested match-up.
