Velo Clube vs Rio Claro tips and predictions

Hard to split these two sides in Campeonato Paulista A2 clash; deadlock in the reckoning

There's not much between Velo Clube and Rio Claro in the Campeonato Paulista A2. The hosts are in seventh place with 12 points, compared to their opponents who are in tenth place on 8 points.

Any eventuality looks possible here. The draw looks sensible. A goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to go mad about.

These sides have impressed at the back. Not giving much away on their own paddock, Velo Clube have conceded at an average of just 0.7 goals per game over their last 3 matches. Meanwhile Rio Claro have only conceded 0.5 goals per game on average in their last 4 away matches.

Perhaps the game doesn't live up to the hype as the match is likely to be tight. Should it play out as many expect then the No BTTS bet could be sensible.

Velo Clube have drawn 7 of their last 19 matches, including their most recent match when they drew 2-2 with Taubate last Wednesday. Rio Claro have drawn 6 of their last 12 away games. It's not the most exciting thing you'll read today and it feels like a match to be on one's guard about but the draw is food for thought. Deadlock is the pick after what looks set to be a tightly contested match-up.
