1.75Tip and bets
Defensor Sporting lost 0-2 in the first match and now has no other option but to go forward with great force immediately. The Violets are traditionally strong and productive on their own field, Navarro's players look very solid in the championship and clearly have plans to win back and advance to the next round. Monagas looks very weak at the start of the season, the warriors have not won a single victory in the Venezuelan championship yet and are missing a lot – it makes sense to count on goals scored from the hosts.
We believe that the guests will be missed. The forecast is that Defensor Sporting's individual total is more than two goals. This bet is offered with odds of 1.99
Betting on the outcome
Defensor Sporting stumbled in the first match and lost 0:2, but such a defeat is certainly not a verdict. At home, the Violets are able to show a completely different football and not only win back, but also resolve the issue of reaching the next round in regular time. Monagas looks very weak at the start of the season, and the victory over the violets is the only bright spot for the warriors, in this state, the guests should hardly count on success in Montevideo.
