Daily Sports Tips – Thursday 16th April
by James Caughlin
Real Esteli v Diriangen FC
11.00am AEST
Real Esteli to Win @ $1.73
The struggles of these two sides have for all intents and
purposes handed the title to Managua but the race for second spot continues.
Both have won just two of their last five matches and Esteli
will be looking to make the most of playing in front of their home fans.
They have lost just once at home all season and it’s
unlikely that will change here as Diriangen doesn’t look like it will have the
power to overhaul that disadvantage.
Pauian v Yulon Luxgen
7.00pm AEST
Yulon -10.5 @ $2.00
Yulon had no trouble demolishing Pauian two days ago in Game
1 of their series, winning by 13 points and setting themselves up nicely to progress
to the Grand Final series.
Remarkably, Tuesday’s win was actually the first time the
home team had won a match between these two since January 5, with the road team
picking up the five matches prior to that.
How to bet on this game depends on how much of a handicap
you want to give Yulon and with Pauian losing its last five matches it’s hard
to have any faith in them suddenly arresting that momentum.
I’ll back the visitors to continue their run and pick up a
double digit victory here.
Energetik BGU v Gorodeya
12.30am AEST
Energetik to Win @ $1.75
Energetik will have to bounce back quickly after suffering
their first defeat of the season last week.
Gorodeya looks like they have found their stride having won
their last two league matches and haven’t lost to Energetik since 2015.
That being said there’s a lot to like about the home side
here and I’ll back them to bounce back and come away with maximum points.
