Ponte Preta vs Tombense Match Preview

On the 16th matchday of the Brazilian Serie B, the struggling Ponte Preta welcomes Tombense.

The home side has been without a win for almost a month now in a prolonged slump. Indicative is its tragic ranking position since they are 18th out of twenty teams. In their last six games, they have suffered three defeats while they have drawn twice. In their most recent game, they failed to beat the last placed Villa Nova and before that, they played a bore draw in a home game against Sabaio, a side that had six losses in seven away games.

On the other hand, visitors of Tobense are running an unbeaten streak of seven matches where they have managed to taste victory in four of them, a streak that raised them to the 6th place in the standings. Their away record is not bad at all as they have just two defeats and four draws in seven matches.

Taking into account the above, one would expect the guest to be a marginal outsider of 3.00, but instead, they are priced at a pretty decent 4.00 on average. I will place 3 units on the away win draw no bet offered at tempting odds of 2.67, considering Tobense's tendency in draws since in fifteen matches they have nine draws.
