Real Avila vs Escobedo tips and predictions

No cakewalk in Segunda RFEF battle; parity likely

There's not much between Real Avila and Escobedo in the Segunda RFEF. The hosts are in third place with 7 points, compared to their opponents who are in 13th place on 2 points.

Any result is possible here so the draw warrants some consideration. With both sides looking strong in defence, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to go mad about.

These sides have impressed at the back. Having created something of a fortress against pressure, Real Avila haven't conceded at all during their latest 3 matches, while Escobedo have been impressive defensively on the road. They've let in an average of 0.5 goals per game over their last 4 matches away from home.

If the betting market is to be believed, only one of these sides is fancied to score as the match is likely to be tight. If it plays out as expected then the No BTTS bet could be decent. And for fans of the goal line, it's under 2.5 goals for this one given the current prices.

Real Avila have drawn 5 of their last 14 matches on their own soil. They drew 0-0 with Langreo at home last week. Escobedo have drawn 3 of their last 4 matches. Their most recent stalemate was when they drew with Torrelavega last week. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds, so the draw warrants consideration. Deadlock is the pick after what will probably be a close encounter.
