Lara vs Universidad Central tips and predictions

Plenty of questions in Primera Division battle; parity on the cards

There's not much between Lara and Universidad Central in the Primera Division. The hosts are in 15th place with 17 points, compared to their opponents who are in 16th place on 15 points.

Anything could happen here. The draw looks reasonable. With goals being far from abundant both of these sides will fancy their chances of keeping a clean sheet. The draw is the pick from the 1X2.

These sides have not been at their best in front of goal. Lara have averaged 0.5 goals in their last 4 home starts which isn't the form they will have wanted. Universidad Central have averaged 0.5 goals in their last 4 away campaigns.

The betting markets suggest that only one side is likely to score as the match is likely to be tight. In the Both Teams To Score market, the No option is the pick. And in the total goals line, it's under 2.5 goals that stands out here given the current odds.

Lara have drawn 8 of their last 20 matches on their own soil, including their most recent match when they drew 2-2 with Carabobo last week. Universidad Central have drawn 7 of their last 19 matches. It isn't very exciting and it feels like a match to be nervous about and so the draw warrants consideration. A deadlock is on the cards after what could be a low-scoring affair.
