Vargas Torres vs Nueve de Octubre tips and predictions

Vargas Torres won't have things all their own way

There's not much between Vargas Torres and Nueve de Octubre in the Serie B. The hosts are in fifth place with 11 points, compared to their opponents who are in tenth place on 8 points.

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Vargas Torres has made them a horrible bet. Nueve de Octubre don't look likely to get the win but they can ask some questions. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. Looking secure at home Vargas Torres have conceded at an average of just 0.6 goals per game over their last 18 matches and Nueve de Octubre have conceded only 1 goal in their last 4 matches.

Vargas Torres are justifiable favourites and it is possible they just don't give anything away. It isn't standout value but the No BTTS bet could be sensible. As far as the total goals line goes, it's Under 1.5 Goals standing out in this one given the prices available.

Vargas Torres have drawn 7 of their last 12 matches, most recently when they drew 2-2 with San Antonio last Friday. Nueve de Octubre have drawn 2 of their last 6 matches. Their most recent tied match was when they drew with Ind. Juniors last Thursday and while any draw is predicted, a scoreline of 0-0 might be a good shout here. It's not very exciting and it feels like a match to be nervous about but the draw is food for thought. Deadlock is the pick after what will probably be a low-scoring affair.
