APWin Prediction

Over 1.5 Goals

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

👉 Our prediction is: Unión Magdalena win or draw

Our top betting tip is Unión Magdalena to win or draw on the Double Chance market. What that means is Unión Magdalena, the home team, must win or draw for the bet to win, and we feel strongly that the match will end in one of those two outcomes.

We simply don't see Unión Magdalena losing to Barranquilla. More than the gulf in quality between the two sides which is clear to see in the statistics, we also have a lot of belief in Unión Magdalena's ability to make home advantage count in this match.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Looking at the current form of both teams, betting the 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market seems like the smart way to go.

It's hard to see both teams getting goals in this match. The two defences have been quite solid, while the offences have had a hard time in front of goal. With that combination, this match could very well be a low-scoring affair with one or none of the teams finding the back of the net.
