In the upcoming fixture of the Venezuelan Primera Division, Matchday 13, Mineros de Guayana will be up against Deportivo Tachira at the Centro Total de Entretenimiento Cachamay in Ciudad Guayana. According to the points table situation of today, Deportivo Tachira stands 4th with 5 wins and 19 points, whereas Mineros de Guayana stands 15th with just a win and 7 points from 11 matches played so far in the competition. The two sides last played in July 20222, and Tachira won 1-0 at home. From the last three matches played between the two, Tachira has maintained a winning margin of 1 goal against Mineros de Guayana. Continue reading to find out more about the upcoming matchup. 

Going in the matchup, Mineros de Guayana has lost four of the last five matches played in the Venezuelan Primera Division. In the last outing against Metropolitanos, Mineros were taken to the cleaners (3-0) and before that, against Carabobo FC (0-1). With just 1 goal scored in the last five matches played, Mineros averages 0.20 goals per game. Against the scoring average, Mineros has conceded 10 goals, averaging 2.00 goals per game. Hence, the home side in tomorrow’s fixture will be starting under pressure against Tachira.

With three consecutive draws in the competition, Deportivo Tachira will be looking to secure a win against the lowest-ranked side. In the last match against Academia Puerto Cabello, Tachira didn’t look completely settled. However, the pressure of playing away from home still persists. In the last five matches played, Tachira has drawn four and won just one. Secondly, it has scored 4 goals, averaging 0.80 in the last five. In comparison to the scoring average, Tachira has conceded 3 goals, averaging 0.60 goals per game. Hence, Tachira is likely to offer a pretty balanced landscape against Mineros as well. Scoring for Mineros will be tough, and Tachira will be looking positive to secure a clean-sheet win. 

Moving forward in the contest, Tachira hasn’t been able to fire as expected this season; however, it has managed to stay in the top six standings. With much more action to be witnessed, Tachira will be looking forward to playing with a balanced lineup and strategy. The match total is expected to be under 2.5 goals, as both sides have under-par scoring averages. I am predicting only Tachira to score and the final scoreline to be 0-2.

• Deportivo Tachira to Win for 2.40
• Total Under 2.5 for 1.69
• Both Teams To Score - No for 1.928
