Bet of the Day
Eibar to beat Real Oviedo @ 10/11
A place in the Segunda Division play-off final is up for grabs on Wednesday as Eibar host Real Oviedo.
The two sides played out a goalless draw on Saturday, but Eibar ran out 4-3 winners over Oviedo on the final day of the Segunda campaign.
While the two teams may be sick of the sight of each other, Eibar will fancy their chances of progressing to the final.
They are competing in their third consecutive play-off campaign and they finished the regular season with the second-best home record in the league.
Joseba Etxeberria’s men only lost three times at home all season, while Oviedo have lost three of their last four away games.
The goalless draw was an ideal result for Eibar at the weekend, and a return to home soil should be just what they need to pick up another victory.
Special of the day
Under 1.5 goals Chile v Paraguay @ 19/10
Copa America will soon be upon us, and Wednesday’s friendly between Chile and Paraguay will be their final chance to fine-tune their tactics before the tournament begins later this month.
Chile’s last match was back in March, where they lost 3-2 to France in a friendly, but Paraguay were in action on Saturday, drawing 0-0 with Peru.
The two sides last met in November, and both teams had a man dismissed in a goalless encounter. While it is difficult to say with confidence that we will witness more aggression, a low-scoring encounter seems likely.
Chile have kept five consecutive clean sheets in a row at home, while they have failed to score in two of those games.
Paraguay’s last seven matches have contained a total of four goals, so Wednesday’s game looks like it could be a close battle.
Longshot of the day
Bet Boost – Bragantino to win and BTTS v Atletico Mineiro @ 19/4
It is still early days in the Brazilian Serie A, and there are only two points separating Bragatino and Atletico Mineiro ahead of Wednesday’s encounter.
The hosts are unbeaten in four in all competitions, while Atletico Mineiro have yet to lose in the league this season.
Their six-match unbeaten run is impressive and they have scored 10 goals during that time. However, Bragantino’s home form is difficult to ignore, as they have gone 13 games without defeat in front of their own fans.
They will be made to work for the three points, but a home win and both teams to score looks great value.
