Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Defensive solidity should prove to be a major factor in this matchup. Both teams' backlines are rock solid, so scoring chances will be hard to come by.

As such, there is decent value to be had in betting 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market.

Our prediction is: Caracas to win the 1st half

The various signs and statistics we have studied point to this being a one-sided affair, with the favoured Caracas likely coming out on top away from home. Caracas has simply been the superior team this season, whereas Independiente Petrolero has struggled.

But for some added value, we recommend betting on Caracas to win the first half, which would bring a higher potential payout.
