Santa Cruz vs The Strongest tips and predictions

Interesting odds available for Santa Cruz

Let's start this preview with a disclaimer; it's not the most confident of views but the away side price is too short.

Santa Cruz backers will look at The Strongest's recent results for evidence that they are there for the taking. The visitors come into the match with 2 losses from their last 3 away campaigns. To put your faith in this team you might have wanted a better set of results than this.

It won't surprise anyone to see them dismiss the challenge of Santa Cruz but they are not unbeatable and a home win is a fair suggestion.

While not necessarily enough to pull of the upset Santa Cruz have shown some form. The hosts are enjoying some form on their own soil. They scored three or more times in 1 of their recent 4 home matches while kudos is also due for their defence. At the back they've conceded no more than once in 14 of their last 18 home games.

Away from home The Strongest have conceded an average of 3.7 goals in their last 3 matches. Their supposed problems don't end there. Creating chances away from their own turf has proved to be a challenge for the visitors. They've been goalless in 8 of their last 20 away matches.

It's not a hugely confident prediction and the hosts may feel they've exceeded expectations if they end up with honours even. Most previews are saying that both sides can get in on the act despite the favouritism for The Strongest. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No is slightly more attractive this time around. In the total goals market, it's Under 3.5 Goals in this match after considering the prices available.
