Atletico Bucaramanga vs Deportivo Pasto Betting Tips and Predictions

Atletico Bucaramanga had an unusual Apertura phase in 2016, where they eventually finished in the lower region of the table. Bucaramanga are a seemingly ridiculously “stubborn” team in the sense that they neither take nor allow their opponents to take all three points from a match, with an incredible 14 out of their 20 matches having ended as a draw (W3 D14 L3) from this phase. Bucuramanga opened their Clausura with another 0-0 draw at home but lets hope for the fans sake that this isn’t the beginning of another season full of low scoring 0-0’s and 1-1 results and we see a bit more ambition going into the Clausura.

Deportivo Pasto started 2016 out strong going undefeated in 11 matches across all competitions (W5 D6) and with only 1 defeat in their first 15 matches (W7 D7 L1). After this run of top form, however, their dream of a top 8 play off spot slipped from their fingers week in and week out with only 1 win in their last 12 across all competitions (W1 D4 L7), ultimately ending in an 11th place finish. Deportivo lost 2-1 at home to Once Caldas in their Clausura opener but bounced back with a 2-0 win away to Boyaca Chico last Sunday.

While home advantage has a huge influence on results in the Colombian Primera A, Deportivo Pasto are in decent form away from home having taken 7 points from their last 3 games on the road (W2 D1), with back to back wins most recently. Balance that with Atletico Bucaramanga’s stubbornness, with 4 of their last 6 home matches ending in a draw, and form-wise this match should be close. Combining that analysis with the statistic below, we expect under 2.5 goals to be the safe bet and a 1-1 draw at 5/8 with a 1-1 draw at 5/1 bet365 to be a top value correct score bet for this match.
