Betting on Magallanes
Magallanes arrives to this new match without an outstanding participation in its local tournament, since it has achieved only two victories in 7 games played. What’s more, it is currently ranked 12th in Chile’s First Division. One of its weaknesses in the league has been the lack of finishing blows, since it has only scored 8 goals and conceded 11.
The team coached by Nicolás Arnaldo Núñez had a phenomenal run in the second phase, where it defeated Always Ready by 6-1 in the series.
Goals from Christian Vilches, Fernando Piñero and Marcelo Filla in the second leg allowed the Chilean team to go into this Magallanes vs Independiente Medellín match with the peace of mind of an improved offensive and a better competition rhythm.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Gastón Rodríguez; Matías Vásquez, Christian Vilches, Fernando Piñero, Felipe Espinoza; Alfred Canales, Tomás Aránguiz, Thomas Jones, Carlos Villanueva, Julián Alfaro; Felipe Flores.
Betting on Independiente Medellin
In the Magallanes vs Independiente Medellín match, the Colombian team is on the rise within the local tournament, having won twice in the last two matchdays. Independiente Medellin holds the tenth place in the BetPlay League with 8 points.
In the second round of the Copa Libertadores against El Nacional, they went through with a final score of 4-3. In the first leg, it drew by 2-2 in a really even clash for both teams. However, in the second leg, it took advantage of its home grounds, and finished the game with two goals scored. The scorers for Independiente Medellin were Jordy Monroy and Diber Cambindo.
For this new Magallanes vs Independiente Medellín match, the visiting team, coached by David González, is expected to be more careful at the back, since several goals conceded in the first leg were the result of mistakes in the defensive lines.
Possible Lineup (3-6-1): Andrés Mosquera; Jhon Palacios, Víctor Moreno, Andrés Cadavid; Jordy Monroy, Daniel Torres, Andrés Ricaurte, Daniel Londoño, Felipe Pardo, Ever Valencia; Luciano Pons.
JefeBet Prediction
Considering their condition and what we have seen in the second phase, we believe the home team will win this upcoming Magallanes vs Independiente Medellín match.
Magallanes played an impressive series in the last phase, and was even one of the most scoring teams of the stage. Although it hasn’t done very well in the local tournament, its players’ preparation for the Copa Libertadores clashes is different. Medellín is also failing to win with its league play, and its coach David González has been heavily criticized.
Prediction: Magallanes wins by 2-1
