JefeBet Prediction
Junior’s coach, Arturo Reyes, knows that anything less than winning the title will be considered a failure by Junior’s board and fans.
Getting a good result is essential for Junior to have a smooth start to the tournament. However, taking into account that Águilas Doradas have been obtaining good results in recent times and that the coastal side will not have their new reinforcement in this duel, we are inclined to expect an even match in the debut of these two teams.
Prediction: Draw (Águilas Doradas 1- Junior 1).
