Betting on Deportes Magallanes
Magallanes is ready to take on the challenge of the Copa Sudamericana. Though they didn’t qualify for the Group Stage of the Copa Libertadores after being eliminated by Deportivo Independiente Medellin, the Chilean team is full of hope and excitement for the opportunity to make history.
However, the team’s spirits may be dampened due to their poor form in the Chilean League, where they have only racked up 8 out of a possible 27 points. This woeful record is accompanied by their poor defensive performance, with 15 goals conceded, making them the second-worst defense in the league.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Gastón Rodríguez; Marcelo Filla, Christian Vilches, Fernando Piñero, Felipe Espinoza; Carlos Villanueva, Tomás Aránguiz, Iván Vásquez; Thomas Jones, Felipe Flores, Julián Alfaro.
Betting on Botafogo
Botafogo is one of the most traditional clubs in Brazil, with a long and glorious history that has catapulted them into the elite ranks of the five-time World Cup champions. Now, they hope to achieve a new international success in the 2023 Copa Sudamericana campaign.
The Fogao is confident with the good momentum they are experiencing in the Carioca Tournament, where they already defeated Audax Rio by a score of 1-2 playing away. In this local competition, the Brazilian team performed at a great level, conceding only six goals, a performance that has them close to another title.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Lucas Perri; Leonel Di Placido, Adryelson, Víctor Cuesta, Marcal; Tché Tché, Marlon Freitas, Eduardo, Raí; Carlos Alberto, Tiquinho Soares.
JefeBet Prediction
Magallanes has been far from their best form in 2023, as evidenced by their performance in the Chilean League. That’s why Nicolás Núñez’s team will have to put in a top-notch effort if they want to secure any points in their Copa Sudamericana debut.
Meanwhile, Botafogo will try to showcase their full potential in Chilean territory, building on the excellent form that has put them in another final in Brazilian football. That’s why at JefeBet, we expect a victory for the visiting team.
Prediction: Botafogo Moneyline (MAG 0-2 BOT).
