Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there's no obvious winner here, but good reason to think Avispa and Cerezo will score 2 or more goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Myung Hwi Kim or Pablo Javier Machín Díez has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s lately either. The bookmakers predict over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.30 equating to roughly a 74% probability.
