Botafogo Win • 2.97

All things considered, it’s fairly apparently who are the favourites to advance from the tie and you’d also have to fancy Botafogo’s chances on the night. Man for man, they are a stronger and more powerful team than Sol de America, and will be hungry to translate that onto the pitch.

As far as the betting is concerned, it’s hard to see just why Botafogo have been priced as underdogs and great value can be found in backing them on the Draw No Bet line. Sol de America have lost 3 of their last 5 games 1-0, Botafogo have won 2 of their last 3 matches 1-0 and that’s a scoreline we can see being repeated on Wednesday in the Brazilians’ favour.

Under 1.5 Goals • 2.46

Ultimately, this is a tie that is far from over and if anything, Tolima are still probably slightl favourites to advance. Man for man, they are a touch stronger than Argentinos on paper and with the crowd behind them, they should be able to put the visitors under pressure and try to mount a comeback.

All things considered, backing a home win looks the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is exactly where our money is going. Tolima are unbeaten in 6 continental home games overall and that’s a sequence we can see them prolonging, with a 1-0 margin of victory that would force penalties looking on the cards.

Unión Española Win • 2

Ultimately, whilst this should be quite a hard tie to call over the two legs, when analysing this fixture is a standalone clash, it becomes far more apparent who the most likely winners are, and that’s Union Espanola. They are in good form and are typically strong on home soil, meaning they have to be considered favourites on the night.

All things considered, backing the hosts to win looks to provide good value and is something we’re more than happy to do. Sporting Cristal’s struggles on the road are simply too awful to ignore and we can’t envisage anything other than them falling to defeat once again, with a 3-1 margin of home victory on the cards. Union know this is a match they really need to be winning by a comfortable margin and should play in an aggessive, attacking manner to ensure they do exactly that.

Deportivo Cali Win • 2.02

Ultimately, this looks a tie that’s hard to call over two legs and will be separated by whoever best uses their home advantage. When looking at this first leg as a standalone fixture, Deportivo Cali are clear and obvious favourites and know they really need to establish a lead to take with them to the return fixture.

All things considered, backing a home win on the full time line looks the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is exactly where our money is going at a more than reasonable price. Deportivo Cali are pretty strong on their own patch and with Penarol so consistently poor on the road in continental competition, a 1-0 margin of home victory could well be on the cards.

Corinthians Win • 2.1

Ultimately, this is a tie that can safely be considered all but over. Corinthians are by far a stronger side than Lara and that’s more than apparent from the first leg and the two games between the two last year in the Copa Libertadores, which the Brazilians won 2-0 and 7-2 respectively.

All things considered, backing an away win looks the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is exactly where our money is going. Lara are losing consistently to far weaker opponents than the one they face here and we believe Corinthians can run out winners once again, this time via a 1-0 margin.

Unión La Calera Win • 2.58

All things considered, whilst Atletico are by far a bigger name than Union La Calera, this is a match the hosts will be confident of their chances in. They are typically strong on home soil and are taking the competition far more seriously than Atletico seem to be, with the changes they’ll make here in mind.

As such, backing a Union win looks the best way to play as far as the betting’s concerned and is exactly where our money is going at a more than reasonable price. It won’t be easy by any means, but Union should have enough to edge ahead of a weakened Atletico outfit in the tie via a 1-0 margin of victory.

Independiente Win • 2.3

Ultimately, this is a real David vs Goliath clash, with the side at polar opposites in just about every aspect. Independiente have quality and resources which Rionegro can only dream about and it’d be a real embarrassment if the Argentines were to crash out against such a small opponent.

All things considered, we’re more than happy to back Independiente winning on the night and they should have too much quality for Rionegro. Rionegro have won just 2 of their last 9 home games and it’s hard to see them giving Independiente any real problems, with a 2-1 margin of away victory appearing on the cards.

Deportes Tolima Win • 1.76

Thursday’s Copa Sudamericana second round, second leg action sees Colombians Deportes Tolima doing battle with Argentinos Juniors. All is certainly still to play for, with the visitors bringing a narrow 1-0 lead to the Estadio Manuel Murillo Toro.

After dropping out of a Copa Libertadores group containing Boca Juniors, Athletico PR and Jorge Wilstermann despite picking up a respectable 8 points, Deportes Tolima had hoped for better luck now that they’re in the Sudamericana. Nonetheless, a 1-0 defeat in Buenos Aires leaves them with work to do if they are to advance from the tie, but the side will still fancy their chances.

Overall, Tolima have looked a solid outfit so far in 2019. They advanced to the play-off stage of the opening phase of their domestic top flight and are currently top of their group within it, so confidence can be pretty high coming into the game. They’ve also remained unbeaten in 3 continental home games this year, beating Athletico PR and drawing with Boca in the process, results that suggest they have every chance of getting the job done on Thursday.

Indeed, Argentinos Juniors’ name does not carry the same weight as the sides mentioned and though the Argentines will be happy to have established a lead in the first leg, they’ll know they have a huge amount of work left to do to see it through, given how slender it is.

Argentinos aren’t a particularly powerful outfit, finishing 26th in the Superliga Argentina but they have at least improved in recent weeks, reaching the semi-finals of the Copa de la Superliga. Nonetheless, said feat could actually be their downfall for this game, as they arrive tired to Colombian soil, having lost an intense two legged affair with Boca prior to making the gruelling trip to Ibague.

Independiente Win • 1.25

Ultimately, though they are a goal down, Independiente are still big favourites to win the tie and should have more than enough to come back against a Rionegro outfit that hasn’t won a single away game in their last 15 attempts. The hosts cannot afford to slip up, given the backlash they will receive if they do so and thus, they will arrive fully motivated to turn the tie around.

All things considered, we can’t look beyond Independiente and feel that backing them on the -1 handicap looks to provide good value. It’s one thing for Rionegro to beat them on their own patch, but the Colombians aren’t likely to have the resolves needed to hang on and we think the hosts will run out 2-0 winners. Independiente have won 5 of their last 6 Copa Sudamericana home ties by more than a single goal and that’s a streak that should continue here.

Caracas Win • 1.75

Ultimately, this is a tie that is far from over and Caracas have every chance of coming back. Man for man, there’s not a huge amount between the two, as the close first leg showed, but with home advantage, Caracas will be hopeful of making a comeback.

All things considered, we like the look of backing a home win here and feel it provides the best value as far as the betting is concerned. Caracas are quite a powerful home outfit, Liverpool aren’t the best of travellers and that leads us to believe that the hosts will run out 1-0 winners; meaning the tie would have to be settled from the spot.

La Equidad Win • 1.48

In the 1st leg, La Equidad who trailed 0-1 all the way from the 7th minute came back strongly in the 2nd half. After tons and tons of attacks, they finally found the equaliser in the 80th minute, was given a penalty in the 89th minute but missed it, never gave up and netted the dramatic winner in injury time. Being the strong favourites in the 2nd leg, La Equidad should win this match.

La Equidad to win.

Atlético Mineiro or Draw

Colón Win • 1.45

Ultimately, anything other than a Colon win on Tuesday is very hard to imagine and the hosts should be able to easily avoid slipping up. River are a far weaker side than them and are extremely poor on the road, so the hosts have to be fancied to advance comfortably.

All things considered, backing a Colon win to nil looks the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is exactly where our money is going. Not only have River lost 6 of their last 7 away games, but they’ve failed to score in all but one of said defeats and with that in mind, a 2-0 margin of home victory could well be on the cards.

Over 0.5 Goals • 1.95

Riverplate have conceded 1.1 goals per game in the second half. Their opposition needs an average 6 shots on target to get on the scoreboard. This might happen here. Am going safe with just over a goal in this game. Will be very tight though. Fingers crossed.

Ceará Win • 1.82

Ceara is a good team. Some statistics:

- Last game between these two teams was interesting. Ceara won 3:1

- Willstermann won only 1 game in last 5

- Ceara is at the first position now
