BTTS - Yes

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

After scanning the different markets for Defensa y Justicia vs Gimnasia y Esgrima, we find that under 9.5 corners is the most eye-catching bet based on the playing profile of the two sides.

We don't foresee much free-flowing attacking football from the two teams, which will greatly reduce the chances of them winning the 10 total corners required to sink this bet.

👉 Our prediction is: Gimnasia y Esgrima win or draw

Our evaluations have shown there is not much separating Defensa y Justicia and Gimnasia y Esgrima overall. But given the extra betting edge that comes with the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw is enough to win the bet, we recommend taking Gimnasia y Esgrima to win or draw in this match.

With odds of 1.61, there is a good deal of value on Gimnasia y Esgrima to pull off a potential upset away from home against Defensa y Justicia, who have not been in the best form of late.
