Betting on Colo Colo
Colo Colo hasn’t had the season they were expecting in its domestic tournament, and although they are only seven points behind league leaders Huachipato, they haven’t been dazzling with their style of play so far. Led by Gustavo Quinteros, they currently sit sixth in the Chilean league standings and have managed to win four out of their ten matches.
Still with a lot of work to do, Colo Colo, who won the Copa Libertadores in 1991, hopes to prevail in a group that also includes Boca Juniors and Deportivo Pereira. In their last match against the Colombian team, they drew 1-1 with a surprising performance by the local team. Colo Colo’s goal came in the 24th minute from the penalty spot. One of the key players to keep an eye on in this match will be Marcos Bolados, who is currently among the top assistants in the local league.
Possible lineup (3-4-1-2): Brayán Cortéz; Maximiliano Falcón, Matías De Los Santos, Ramiro González; Jeyson Rojas, César Fuentes, Esteban Pavez, Agustín Bouzat; Leonardo Gil; Marcos Bolados, Damián Pizarro.
Betting on Monagas
The Venezuelan team heads into this match after securing an important point in their official debut. Their game against Boca Juniors ended in a goalless draw in a match where they surprised with the level shown and how they played as equals against one of the tournament’s powerhouses. In terms of possession, the Azulgranas were superior and precise in their game.
In the local tournament, Monagas is going through a negative winless streak of four games and sits fifth in the standings with five wins in ten games.
Possible lineup (3-4-3): Orlando Mosquera; Cristopher Rodríguez, Hárold Cummings, Rubén Ramírez; Iván Anderson; Aldo Quiñónez, Andrés Romero, Edanyilber Navas; Santiago Herrera, Abdiel Arroyo, Fernando Basante.
JefeBet Prediction
Although the Venezuelans managed to secure a great draw against Boca, their approach may need to change when playing away from home. Colo Colo is a very strong home team and has not lost at the Monumental in the last two matchdays. It is worth noting that this will be the first encounter between these two teams in their entire history, and neither team is likely to back down in the initial minutes. Considering the hierarchy and recent performance, at JefeBet we believe that the home team will come away with all three points in this match.
Prediction: Colo Colo Moneyline (COL 2-0 MON).
