Villa Espanola to win. Essentially there's not enough value in the Boston River odds to get excited about.

You may disagree but Villa Espanola might have reasons to be confident about adding to Boston River's recent defeats. The last 15 fixtures have not all gone to plan for the away squad; they've lost 11 of them. It doesn't sound like the recent record of a team that will fancy their chances.

The home players are finding some form on their own paddock. Villa Espanola have scored three or more goals in 3 of their recent 8 home matches while combining those displays with decent defensive stats. They've only conceded an average of 0.9 goals across their last 15 games.

There have been periods when Boston River have lacked the right stuff to resist pressure. They have conceded two or more goals in 11 of their last 16 matches. Their critics might be asking questions about the stats from the other end of the pitch. In front of goal the visitors have sometimes been quite poor. They've scored one or less goals in 4 of their last 5 matches.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the first to open their account. The match could develop into a battle of attrition with the two sides ultimately cancelling each other out. It isn't a strong view and it won't be for everyone, but the No BTTS bet seems like it will be the best play from that market.
