Match description
I predict an away win. Deportivo Táchira's main asset is their defense — the visitors concede an average of 0.83 goals away, while Estudiantes Mérida concede 1.67 at home, and 33% of Táchira’s away matches finish with a clean sheet versus 0% for Estudiantes. Táchira averages 5 shots on target per away game compared to the hosts' 3.83 SOT, and despite nearly equal xG (1.36 vs 1.41) their defensive organization and higher clean sheet rate give them the edge. Estudiantes, however, are more efficient in converting chances (14% vs 9%) and score 1.83 goals per home match versus Táchira’s 1.17 away, so they can pose a threat. Considering the visitors’ better points return in the last 5 matches (2.0 pts vs 1.8 pts) and superior away goal difference (+2 vs +1), I tip a narrow Deportivo Táchira victory.
