Football Bet of the Day: Another quiet night in Peru

Union Comercio v Comerciantes Unidos
Thursday 21:30

UTC Cajamarca sneaked a 1-0 win over Deportivo Municipal in Peru last night. It kept us well below the goals line and we're going to try and double our money (well, almost) with a bet on tonight's game from Nueva Cajamarca, which we're led to believe is a mere 11-hour drive from its older namesake.

We're here now anyway. Hosts Union Comercio could jump from tenth to seventh in the Primera Division with a win this evening. They're odds-on to get it too: while they've gone W3-D1-L0 at home this term, opponents Comerciantes Unidos are bottom of the table and W0-D0-L5 on the road. However, it's Under 2.5 Goals that looks a solid play at a bigger price.

The home side have scored only five times across their first four games at Estadio IPD de Moyobamba, while conceding not at all. The visitors have managed a couple of goals in their five consecutive away defeats. Together, they make a good case for backing Under 2.5 Goals at a near-evens price.
