Universidad Catolica vs Independiente del Valle tips and predictions

Decent match-up expected in Liga Pro

Sitting in 15th place Universidad Catolica are snapping at the heals of second place Independiente del Valle. There's a lot riding on this clash with 3 points between them.

Independiente del Valle will have confidence about the win. Their odds aren't giving anything away though.

The hosts will be looking to put some of their lacklustre showings behind them. They have plenty to fear in the recent achievements of their rivals. A look at some of the visitors' results provides some clues for what to expect.

Independiente del Valle have won 10 of their last 15 trips away. If this away squad hits their straps they should prevail. Impressively, they've scored three or more goals in 3 of their last 7 games and if they're at their absolute best they can impress their advantages here. Their organisation at the back could be significant in this clash. They have conceded just 6 times in their last 14 games.

It's not easy to be sure about what's lying ahead. It would be odd to imply that the favourites are a banker here. It's possible that the two sides cancel each other out over an attritional ninety minutes. In which case the BTTS No bet seems wise. And taking a look at the goal line, it's no more than one goal standing out in this one considering the price that's available there.

The head-to-head shows that Independiente del Valle have won 10 of the last 18 games between the two sides.

The hosts went down to a shocking 4-1 defeat last week against Aucas.
