Betting on Zamora
Zamora did not get the result they were hoping for in Uruguayan territory, losing by a two-goal difference, which makes it difficult for them to continue advancing in this competition. However, César Magallán’s goal in the 76th minute gave them hope for the next match.
They did not have a good results in the domestic tournament ahead of this match, as they were thrashed 3-0 by Carabobo. This was a tremendous blow to their morale that is likely to be reflected on Thursday.
The Venezuelan team has lost only one of its nine most recent home games, although these matches have been in the Venezuelan league, in which they are usually one of the best clubs.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Carlos Salazar; Andrés Hernández, Giovanni Dolgetta, Cleidermán Osorio, Alejandro Yearwood; Luis Peña, Maikol Quintero, Robert Garcés, Jeizon Jesús Ramírez Chacón; Miguel Antonio Celis Napolitano, Yuxer McAllyster Requena Venales.
Betting on Boston River
Boston River dominated the first leg, limiting their opponents to just 34% possession in the 90 minutes of play and allowing only 3 shots on goal. However, the own goal in the second half makes them show up in Venezuela, knowing that they still don’t have their ticket for the next stage secured.
It is also important to highlight that Boston River lost 3-0 on the weekend in the Uruguayan first division, a result that completely tarnished the great start they had made in the country’s top flight.
Although they have won their 2 most recent away games, a more general look shows that this is not a condition that suits them well, being the only wins in the last 6 games (4 losses).
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Santiago Silva; Leonard Costa, Guzmán Rodríguez, Pedro Silva, Francisco Barrios; Emiliano Sosa, Mateo Torres, Jonathan Urretaviscaya; Mathías Acuña, Emiliano Gómez, Cristian Olivera.
JefeBet Prediction
Neither team is in good shape for this match after being beaten heavily in their respective leagues. However, the home team will try to take the lead, taking advantage of their fans, and look for an epic comeback that will allow them to continue advancing in this tournament.
With a team that is committed to attacking, the visitors can take advantage of the spaces to finish the series.
Prediction: Both teams score: YES (ZAM 2-1 BOS).
