Betting on Estudiantes de Merida
Estudiantes de Merida has had a terrible performance, losing all three matches in Group H, and conceding eight goals in total. In this challenge, the team is practically playing its last chance to stay in competition. If the team doesn’t manage to score three points, it would almost have no chance of advancing.
It’s worth noting that out of the eight goals conceded, six of them were suffered in the last game, which ended in a tough defeat against Fortaleza by 6-1 on May 4 in Brazil. At home, Estudiantes de Merida is ranked tenth in the Venezuelan League standings with 17 points.
Possible Lineup (3-4-1-2): Beycker Velásquez; Alexis Doldán, Edison Penilla, Anthony Matos; Sebastián Uscátegui, Aaron Rodríguez, Marcel Guaramato, Jesús Gómez; Néstor Canelón; Antony Medrano, Luis Arenas.
Betting on Club Deportivo Palestino
Palestino has accumulated four points, and seems to have good chances of securing second place, which would allow it to continue in the competition. However, the team needs to improve its goal difference, having scored only one goal while conceding four.
On May 3, Palestino squandered a great opportunity to win at home, as it only managed a 0-0 draw with San Lorenzo de Almagro, which currently holds second place in the group due to its superior goal difference.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): César Rigamonti; Benjamín Rojas, Antonio Ceza, Cristian Suárez, Brayan Véjar; Ariel Martínez, Misael Dávila, Fernando Cornejo; Jonathan Benítez, Bryan Carrasco, Maximiliano Salas.

This Estudiantes de Merida vs Palestino is a crucial game for both squads, as the former needs to win to stay in the race with just three remaining fixtures, and the latter must triumph to have a chance of qualifying in the upcoming matchdays.
