Our prediction is: Instituto win or draw
Our evaluations have shown there is not much separating Platense and Instituto 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 Instituto to win or draw in this match.
With odds of 1.23, there is a good deal of value on Instituto to pull off a potential upset away from home against Platense, who have not been in the best form of late.
Our prediction is: Platense to win the 1st half
Platense has been a strong home team overall this season, and the statistics point to them being particularly quick to pounce in the opening 45 minutes. Whether that aggressive mentality is due to the energy of the home crowd or an intentional plan on the part of the manager, it has proven to be very effective.
We foresee that plan paying off once again in their match against Instituto, so our top tip is for Platense to win the first half.
