A low goal count could be on the cards for this Primera División encounter. On this basis, we’ll land the -179 for Under 2.5, with the two sides unlikely to reach a combined three goals or more between them.

Key stats supporting our main match prediction (league matches):

• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 9 of the last 17 Unión games at home.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 11 Instituto games on the road.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 15 of the last 17 Instituto games on the road.

According to the best betting sites, our pick has a 64.1% chance of landing a return. However, we have this number closer to 70% based on our in-depth research. The wager can be recommended for this precise reason.

There are a number of similar wagers and Under 1.5 Goals allows you to secure a larger price. However, there’s more risk as you can’t have more than one goal being scored.
