Betting on Caracas Futbol Club
While participating in the Copa Sudamericana instead of the Copa Libertadores could be a great disappointment for Caracas FC, one of Venezuela’s biggest teams, it will surely try at least to get on the right foot in the group stage of this competition.
So far, the start of the campaign for the “Rojos del Avila” has been rather bittersweet, given that, although it has an unbeaten five-games streak in the FUTVE League, it only managed to win one of those matches, which has placed them in the fourth place in the standings, but eight points from the top.
Caracas will be playing in the Copa Sudamericana for the first time since 2020, their most recent continental participation being in the 2022 Copa Libertadores, where it finished at the bottom of its group with six points. However, playing at home in this series could give them a little more confidence, considering that it has never lost at home against Academia Puerto Cabello in its four previous matches.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Alain Baroja; Alexander Gonzales, Ronaldo Rivas, Rubert Quijada, Roger Manrique; Santiago Rodríguez, Anderson Contreras, Vicente Rodríguez, Ade Oguns; Enmanuel Mercado, Saúl Guariapa.
Betting on Academia Puerto Cabello
Academia Puerto Cabello’s growth in recent years is something to admire, since it is a team that was just created in 2014, and that barely managed to reach the Venezuelan first division in 2018. Reaching the eighth place in the 2022 FUTVE League gave them the opportunity to participate in the Liguilla Pre-Sudamericana, which, in turn, allowed them to fight for a place in the Copa Sudamericana, a place that was fairly won.
This will be the first presentation of the team led by the experienced coach Noel Sanvicente at a continental level. For this reason, the team will surely try to display here the level it has shown at home at the beginning of this year, being the only leaders of the Venezuelan tournament after winning its first five matches.
A 1-0 win over Metropolitanos last Friday extended the Academia Puerto Cabello’s great start this season, with a very solid defense that conceded just one goal so far in 2023.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Luis Romero; Kendrys Silva, Carlos Rivero, Edwin Peraza, José Luis Granados; George Ayine, Juan Colina; Richard Figueroa, Andrés Montero, Danny Pérez; Luifer Hernández.
JefeBet Prediction
The great performance shown by Academia Puerto Cabello in defense this 2023 has been wonderful, even more so considering that it is also one of the top-scoring teams in the Venezuelan tournament with 13 goals in five games.That is why Caracas FC, which has conceded six goals in their last four games, should be worried.
Although Caracas is a historic team, the Academia Puerto Cabello’s performance has been much better, that is why we hope that the debutants can transmit those good impressions in this match and claim the victory.
Prediction: Academia Puerto Cabello Moneyline (CAR 0-1 ACA).
