Brunei vs Laos tips and predictions

Brunei generous price to cause the shock

Here is one of those match-ups where there is no doubt that the away side is markedly the superior outfit. Even if they end up scoring five times, there is just no logic to taking the short price.

The hosts have marauded through their last 3 home games, winning all of them while the visitors have lost their last 10 matches, home and away. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that is such a massive favourite.

For any hope of victory Brunei need to concentrate on previous upset wins they have achieved. This home defence looks worthy of praise and the numbers speak volumes. They've only conceded 1 goal in their last 3 games at home. Couple that with the fact that the visitors look a little like they've occasionally downed tools under pressure. Laos have conceded three or more goals in 8 of their last 9 matches. And when opportunities have presented themselves, the visitors have looked underwhelming. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 10 matches.

If Laos are to justify their short price they may come out eager to maintain a clean sheet. It's not a strong view so maybe best to give it a miss but the No BTTS bet looks like the pick there.
