Independiente traditionally plays aggressively in attack at home and has no problems with implementation - Palestino conceded twice at home, it will be almost impossible to play to zero in Medellin. However, the Arabs are unlikely to only defend, the Chileans scored against Cuiaba, Bolivar, Millonarios away, and today they will probably also play for their goal.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - total over two goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.79
Bet on the outcome
Independiente are practically flawless in home matches – a series of eight matches without defeat at home clearly testifies to this. It is unlikely that the Colombians will have an easy walk today, Palestino knows how to play away, but the hosts should have enough experience and class for a minimal victory.
