NextGOAL tip: Rubio Ñú (level) · 1 stars
Deportivo Recoleta and Rubio Ñú meet in the league with both still searching for a win in their most recent outing. Rubio Ñú have just drawn 0-0, while Deportivo Recoleta lost 0-1 for a second match in a row. This game is therefore one where both sides need points to halt their own stumbles. Deportivo Recoleta have clear problems picking up points. This season they have lost as many as 10 of 14 matches, scoring 14 and conceding 27, but at home in the first half they often fall behind first. The numbers from their last 10 home matches show that the first half produced goals in as many as 9 of them, and they concede an average of 1.4 goals per first half. Rubio Ñú themselves are not strong away from home either: in 11 away first halves they concede an average of 0.91 goals, but the stats from their last 10 matches in all venues say they hit the target 4.5 times per game, more than the hosts' 3.33, and they hold less of the ball than the hosts, 45.7% against 54.5%, reflecting that Rubio Ñú play more on the counter than by controlling the game. The pattern of play therefore looks likely to be the hosts having more of the ball, while Rubio Ñú sit back and wait for the moment to counter, which is the style that has kept them unbeaten in several recent matches, and given the quality of the hosts' defence, which concedes often, this game looks more likely to end evenly matched than to swing one way.
