Match Preview and Betting Tips.
Godoy Cruz took a comfortable 2-0 victory over Sport Boys last week at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas to go three points clear at the top of the standings in group 6. The Argentine team thus most likely eliminated the Bolivians from the battle for the top two spots, but they won’t have an easy task to repeat the good display and see off Sport Boys in the rematch as well considering the high altitude in Bolivia. Copa Libertadores is thus a season salvation for Lucas Bernardi and his men who have had a disastrous campaign in the top flight of Argentine football.
Sport Boys have been horrendous at the back lately. The team led by the Spanish expert Francisco Azkargorta lost four games on the bounce in all competitions having conceded as many as 12 goals during the process.
The visitors maintained with the dismal performances in Primera Division where they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Talleres Cordoba at the weekend. Godoy Cruz made a huge step towards the next round by beating Libertad 1-2 on the road in the second match of the group stage.
Even though the visitors have been much better so far in Copa Libertadores, we can hardly see the value in backing them to pick up the victory at 5/4 odds. We’ll go for Sport Boys to avoid a defeat at 4/6 instead. We’ll also try and take advantage of the 9/10 odds offered by the bookie son the Over 2.5 goals FT pick.
