Command Analysis

Libertad

Current form
Libertad ended up in the strongest group of the Copa Libertadores, where it was not even a clear contender for the second place in the playoffs before the start of the group stage. However, in the first round, Sergio Aquino's team created a sensation and managed to beat the Alliance 1-0 in Lima. In the second round, los Repolleros left no chance for the Argentine Talleres on their own field - a 2-0 victory allowed Libertad to lead the group after two rounds and take a serious step towards the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
- Libertad has won three of the last four home matches.
- Libertad did not concede in the previous two matches of the tournament.
Approximate composition: Acosta – Ramirez, Viera, Gutierrez, Florentin – Cardoso, Benitez, Fernandez, Franco, Melgarejo – Santa Cruz.

Sao Paulo

Current form
Sao Paulo was frankly unlucky with the draw and the tricolours found themselves in the most difficult group of the Copa Libertadores, but even so they were considered clear contenders to win it. In the first round, Luis Subeldia's team scored the most important 1-0 away victory over the potential main competitor in the fight for victory in the group in the person of Talleres. However, in the second round, Sao Paulo sensationally lost points in the home match against Alianza (2:2), missing out on precious two points and the first place in the group, but today there is a chance to break out on the podium.
Disqualifications and injuries
Calleri, Lucas Moura, Luis Gustavo, Oscar and Maya are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last seven matches, Sao Paulo has not lost – two wins and five draws.
- In two of the last three away matches, Sao Paulo did not concede.
Approximate composition: Rafael – Ferraresi, Arboleda, Franco, Diaz – Alisson, Antonio, Ferreira, Luciano, Ferreira – Andrezinho.

2.55Tip and bets
Libertad topped the table after two wins in a row and will probably try to surprise today as well, but at the same time, the hosts are unlikely to take unnecessary risks. In the competition of Sao Paulo, which has an advantage in class, and any mistake in the confrontation with such an opponent can lead to the loss of all points and leadership in the group, Libertad will clearly rely on defense. Sao Paulo, in turn, will also not rush forward and take risks, but will look for its moments in positional attacks, not forgetting about defense – in such a match it is unlikely to count on a scoring extravaganza.
We believe that the match will not be productive. The betting tip is a total of less than two goals. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.75
Betting on the outcome
Libertad reached the first place in the group and made a bid for the playoffs, but a mistake in a home match against a direct competitor can be costly, and today the hosts will probably focus primarily on not losing. For Sao Paulo, which has serious personnel losses, a draw in Asuncion would be quite a decent result and the guests would not take the risk either – it makes sense to take the risk and assume that the teams will share the points, for each side such a result would be quite acceptable.
The bet is a draw. This bet is offered for 2.90
Betting on corners
Libertad at home will clearly seek to seize the initiative, and Sao Paulo, in turn, will surely agree to the role of the second number and will spend most of the match on the defensive - the hosts should win from the corners without problems.
The bet is Libertada's victory on the corners. This bet is offered for 2.15
