Betting on Independiente Medellin (+160 at Codere)
Independiente Medellín continues to face bitter disappointments this season, as the Colombians not only have to settle for fighting for the Copa Sudamericana but also finished last in their group in the final quadrangular of the local championship.
Under the guidance of Alfredo Arias, the team needed at least a draw in Brazil, but that quickly slipped away as it fell behind 3-0 in the first 27 minutes of the first half of the match. This defeat also marked its second loss playing away.
On the other hand, in front of its home crowd, Medellín finished the group stage of the Libertadores undefeated recording two victories and one draw. Although the team conceded four goals, it remained being the leader in its group at home, scoring seven goals.
Furthermore, in the local championship, Independiente Medellín lost only three times in 13 matches played in front of its home crowd, during which the team found the net on 19 occasions.
That being said, it would be a total disaster if Independiente does not at least draw at home. That is why it is a smart choice to head over to Codere and play the Home Team Handicap (+1), a line that is set at (-271) and by betting it individually, you could win up to $37 for every $100 betted.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Andrés Mosquera; Jordy Ararat, Víctor Moreno, Jhon Palacios, Daniel Londoño; Andrés Ricaurte, Jaime Alvarado, Edwin Cetré, Miguel Monsalve; Andrés Ibargüen, Luciano Pons.
Playoffs First Leg
Betting on San Lorenzo (+200 at Codere)
San Lorenzo took a major leap forward in its season thanks to a historic comeback that secured the team a spot in the Playoffs for the Round of 16 in the Copa Sudamericana, while also placing it third in the Argentine League.
The San Lorenzo team needed to score a big win against Estudiantes and for Palestino to not earn any points at home. And that is exactly what happened, with a 4-1 victory in Buenos Aires and a loss for the Chileans against Fortaleza.
Unexpected results considering San Lorenzo’s offensive problems throughout the campaign. While the team’s defense has been solid, it had only scored three goals in five matches before netting four against the Venezuelan club.
As for its away performance, Rubén Insúa’s team has had the chance to achieve better results if it were not for its offensive shortcomings. In the group stage, the team won 1-0 against Estudiantes and drew 0-0 against Palestino. In the local tournament, it has only managed to score 10 goals in 11 matches, recording five draws during that period.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Augusto Batalla; Rafael Pérez, Federico Gattoni, Gastón Hernández; Jalil Elías, Agustín Giay, Nahuel Barrios, Malcolm Braida; Andrés Vombergar, Iván Leguizamón; Adam Bareiro.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Manchester United vs Leeds United
While San Lorenzo’s defense may be considered one of the best of the season, it is not as solid on the road as it is at home. In fact, in the Argentine League, in eight out of the 11 away matches played, the San Lorenzo team has allowed at least one goal.
On the other hand, Independiente Medellin’s defense is not outstanding either. In the group stage of the Libertadores, the team has conceded at least one goal in all three matches played at home, and in the Colombian League, opponents found the net in five out of the 10 games played in Medellin.
That being said, San Lorenzo’s offensive problems should not matter much. This Wednesday’s match is expected to have some offensive action, which is why it is a good option to head over to Codere and bet on Both Teams Score, a line that is at (-106) and can earn you up to $94 for every $100 bet.
