Football Bet of the Day: Party time in Peru

Melgar v Deportivo Municipal
Friday 02:00

A 1-1 draw is no great help to either Rayo Vallecano or Athletic Bilbao, who remain mired in La Liga's bottom four. However, last night's result in La Liga did land our BTTS bet, so we can make the long journey to Peru with a spring in our step.

Tonight's Primera Division game pits top-of-the-table Melgar at home to Deportivo Municipal, who are seventh in the 16-team league. The hosts are W10-D2-L0 at Estadio Monumental Virgen de Chapi since a defeat in April. They've scored at least twice in 11/12 but have been slightly less impressive at the other end. Visitors have managed to score in 8/12, including five of the last six.

Deportivo Municipal have conceded 10 times across their last three away games, most recently drawing 3-3 at Real Garciloso. On the road since the start of April, they are a mediocre W3-D5-L6, but they have scored themselves in 11/14 and we fancy they can lift tonight's match to Over 2.5 Goals. Five of their last six have gone that way, as have 9/12 Melgar home matches.
