- Both Teams to Score - No is a solid bet at around 2.0.
- Under 2.5 goals is also a touch of value at 1.95.
- The odds make sense given the tendency for at least one side to be shut out in a typically cagey encounter.
Prediction
- Once Caldas play a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 setup and are typically a vertical and transition-based side, as opposed to Rionegro's ball control and aggressive pressing after losing possession.
- This game looks to be a classic case of opposites attracting and while Rionegro have a good chance of getting something here, the hosts should have the edge.
- We're going for a low-scoring home win as our main pick, but the draw is certainly possible given their recent head-to-head record.
- We're taking the 5/6 line on Blanco Blanco for Saturday's home game.
