"BTTS has been the right bet on 6/7 Colombia matches home and away since mid-June"

Back Both Teams To Score @ 2.166/5 in Colombia v Chile

Colombia are favourites to win tonight's World Cup qualifier, but Tobias Gourlay reckons visiting Chile could at least nick a goal

Colombia v Chile
Friday 00:00 (Live on FreeSports)

In Athens yesterday, Greece beat Sweden 2-1 to land our BTTS bet.

We're sticking with international football today for one of tonight's World Cup qualifiers from South America. Chile are headed to Colombia and they aren't expected to get much from their trip to Barranquilla, but we've found reasons to believe they can get on the score-sheet and help deliver another odds-against BTTS bet.

BTTS has been the right bet on 6/7 Colombia matches home and away since mid-June. In World Cup qualifiers on their own soil, the Coffee Growers have conceded in 2/3 so far - only managing to shut out a weak Venezuela outfit.

Chile's most recent away qualifier was a goalless draw in Ecuador, but three previous road games in this campaign all hit BTTS, with Chile even finding the back of the net in Argentina in June. At better than even money, we're punting on BTTS to land again tonight.
