Betting Tips and Predictions

Best Tip: Home Win (1.87) – NerdyTips’ AI rates this a 5.3/10 confidence pick. Cuenca’s home edge and Macara’s weaker away record support this.

Other Predictions:
– Over 1.5 Goals (1.44) – Likely, given both teams’ scoring trends.
– Correct Score: 2-1 – Reflects Cuenca’s attacking form and Macara’s ability to score.
– HT/FT: 1-0/2-1 – Cuenca often leads early (59% possession expected).

Macara may struggle defensively, but their recent upset win hints at unpredictability. Corners (7 total) and cards (Macara averaging more yellows) could add value to niche markets.

Final Verdict

Cuenca’s home advantage and stronger form make them slight favorites. The stats suggest goals, with 1.87 for a home win offering solid value. For safer bets, over 1.5 goals is a strong alternative.
