Deportivo Tachira are strong favorites at home against a poor Rayo Zuliano side, but the market has overpriced the home win and double chance.

The best value is the first-half double chance (Tachira or Draw) at 1.62, with a 75% model probability versus 62% implied. Avoid Over 2.5 goals and the straight home win due to negative edges.
