APWin Prediction

No BTTS 2nd Half

After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: Over 2.5 goals in the match

San Carlos vs Puntarenas has all the makings of a high-scoring affair, and we anticipate this game going over 2.5 goals.

Online bookmakers have given good 2.01 odds for over 2.5 goals, and we fancy the chances of that bet paying off thanks to the tremendous attacking ability of the two teams.

👉 Our prediction is: Puntarenas to win the 1st half

Puntarenas is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts San Carlos a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Puntarenas to win the first half.
