Racing is approaching the final of the South American Cup in excellent shape, having won five victories in a row and is not without reason the favorite – the Argentinians also have an advantage in the selection of players. In general, in the season as a whole, and in the tournament grid in particular, the “academicians” look more stable and confident, Cruzeiro makes a lot of mistakes in defense and Racing is able to turn one of these mistakes into a victory.

Bet on total
It is obvious that neither side will dare to take risks from the first minutes – this is the final and the price of a mistake is very high. However, Cruzeiro is not distinguished by its reliability in defense and it is unlikely that the Brazilians have a chance to play to zero, they will clearly not forget about the attack. It makes sense to count on an exchange of goals in such a match, both sides will fight desperately for the trophy and mistakes in defense are not excluded at all.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.15
Bet on corners
Racing are the favourites and will clearly aim to play first – the Argentinians should win confidently on corners.
