Football Bet Of The Day: Aaron Ashley has a 5-6 selection from the Spanish Segunda division

Racing Post Sport’s resident football tipster Aaron Ashley has pinpointed his standout wager from Wednesday’s schedule, and it comes from Spain’s Segunda División as mid-table Burgos welcome playoff-chasing Ceuta to the Estadio Municipal El Plantio.

Burgos arrive in red-hot form, collecting 13 points from their last five outings and, crucially, keeping a clean sheet in every one of those fixtures. The only blemish in that sequence was a 0-0 stalemate at fellow promotion hopefuls Eibar, highlighting the defensive resilience that has underpinned their surge up the standings. With just six points separating league leaders Racing Santander and fifth-placed Burgos, the Castile and León outfit still harbour realistic ambitions of forcing their way into the automatic promotion places.

Home comfort has been central to Burgos’ revival. They are unbeaten in seven league matches on their own patch, winning five, and most recently dismantled Cordoba 4-0 to signal their intent.

Ceuta, meanwhile, sit ninth and remain in the playoff conversation, yet their away record raises red flags. Los Elegidos possess the third-worst travelling record in the division and have lost five of their last six road fixtures, a sequence that suggests they could struggle against a Burgos side brimming with confidence.

With form, momentum and home advantage all pointing in one direction, Ashley’s 5-6 (1.83) selection on Burgos to claim victory carries solid value for Wednesday’s bet of the day.
