Betting on Independiente Medellin
Independiente Medellin is coming into this match with an inconsistent performance in the local tournament since it achieved only two victories in eight games played. The local team occupies the eleventh position in the standings with 8 points.
In the first leg, the Colombian team was left with a bitter taste after losing the lead and being tied in stoppage time. Their goal came thanks to a good finish by Emerson Batalla, who received a pass after an error in Magallanes’ exit. For this new clash, it is expected that the team coached by David González will lean towards an offensive approach from the first minutes to be more effective. During their last match, the Colombian side dominated the game in terms of shots on goal, but their attacks were not effective.
Possible lineup (4-5-1): Andrés Mosquera; Jordy Monroy, Víctor Moreno, Andrés Cadavid, Yulián Gómez; Daniel Torres, Andrés Ricaurte, Emerson Batalla, Miguel Monsalve, Ever Valencia; Luciano Pons.
Betting on Magallanes
Magallanes is also coming to this new duel with many doubts in its local tournament, as it had achieved two consecutive victories but lost again during last matchday. What’s more, they currently occupy the 12th place in the Chilean First Division standings and records the third-worst goal difference team in the league, scoring 8 goals and conceding 11.
The team coached by Nicolás Arnaldo Núñez had a dazzling performance in the second stage against Always Ready, but at home against Medellín things were different. In several moments of the match they were in a backward position and Gastón Rodríguez was one of the top performers.
However, just when all seemed lost, the team teamed up and scored with the goal-scoring instinct of the Colombian Yorman Zapata, who came on in the second half and got on the scoresheet thanks to a pinpoint assist from Simón Contreras. Thanks to this last minute goal, the Chileans come into this Independiente Medellín vs Magallanes game with a chance to qualify.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Gastón Rodríguez; Marcelo Filla, Christian Vilches, Fernando Piñero, Felipe Espinoza; Tomás Aránguiz, César Cortés, Carlos Villanueva; Thomas Jones, Felipe Flores, Julián Alfaro.
JefeBet Prediction
We believe that the home team will win this Independiente Medellin vs Magallanes. The first leg was intense and very exciting until the last minute. Although it was evenly matched, it was the red team from Antioquia who came closest. Both teams arrive under similar circumstances in their domestic tournaments, however, Medellín is strong at home and this year has lost only one of four games played at the Atanasio.
Prediction: Independiente Medellín wins 1-0.
