Real Santander vs Cucuta tips and predictions

Visitors odds too short ahead of Primera B clash

Let's start this preview with a caveat; it isn't a particularly confident forecast but the away side price is too short.

Real Santander will be desperate for evidence that they can add another L to the Cucuta's recent results. On the road the visitors have been far from destructive; they've lost 3 of their last 4 away assignments. For such a short priced team you might have wanted a better return than this.

It won't surprise anyone to see them dismiss the challenge of Real Santander but they're certainly not unbeatable and a home win is a fair shout.

While not necessarily enough to upset the odds Real Santander have some reasons to be confident. They scored two or more goals in all of their recent 4 home matches coupled with some top-notch defending. At the back they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 9 home games.

Cucuta have actually conceded three or more goals in 1 of their last 3 matches. The alleged problems don't end there. In front of goal, the visitors have been disappointing. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 13 away matches.

Playing devil's advocate it might be surprise enough to see the hosts come away having battled to a deadlock. Cucuta are the favourites and they'll be keen to keep things tight at the back. There are better value picks elsewhere but the No BTTS bet seems like it's the only option that offers any value in that market. Looking into the goal line, it's Under 1.5 for this one considering the prices available there.
