Betting Insights
- Danubio are the favourites to win this match however, at odds of 1.98, as they are the better side, haven’t lost at home to Juventud in their recent encounters, and are in better form.
- Both Team to Score - Yes will be priced at 2.0 ahead of this game, and that looks like a solid option.
- The recent goalscoring records of both sides and the visitors’ away record in the league this season, with an average of 1.5 goals scored and 2.0 conceded, point towards a Danubio win with both scoring.
Prediction
- Monarriz’s knowledge of Juventud will play a big part in this game, as he will be able to predict and manipulate his former team’s play, and we could see the visitors come out firing, knowing that Danubio are a possession-based side.
- But Danubio are the stronger side and haven’t lost to Juventud at home in recent encounters, so I’m going with a home win.
