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.
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.
