Football Bet of the Day: Back goals in Chilean Cup encounter

Audax Italiano v Palestino
Thursday November 13, 23:00

The Pilgrims didn't progress, and thankfully they didn't score either. Coventry City's 2-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle took them a step closer to Wembley, and netted us a 2.226/5 winner, as we said No in the Both Teams To Score market.

I'm aware that trips to Italy, Germany and England hardly constitute a round-the-world adventure, so we're spreading our wings today, taking in a Chilean Cup match between Audax Italiano and Palestino. It's a late one, so why not have a nice afternoon nap? I used to do that before I had kids, but then I used to do a lot of things before I had kids.

Audax Italiano are in a rut at present - last season they finished 14th in both the Apertura and Clausura championships, and they are currently 11th in the Chilean top flight. They have won just four of their 14 league outings so far, but their matches are at least entertaining, featuring an average of 2.64 goals per game.

Palestino have rocketed to sixth thanks to a run of four wins in six games. It tends to be famine or feast, with seven wins, six defeats and just one draw. Palestino games are far from yawnsome either, as they feature an average of 2.5 goals.

I'm surprised to see Audax Italiano trading as the favourites to win this one at 2.285/4. given that they've won just four of their last 13 games in all competitions. Palestino have won four of their last six away matches, and therefore look a decent price at 3.052/1.

However, I'm recommending Over 2.5 Goals, which has traded at 2.01/1. Seven of Audax Italiano's last eight games in all competitions have featured three goals or more, which is also true of five of Palestino's last ten outings.

Recommended Bet
Back Over 2.5 Goals at 2.01/1
