Coquimbo Unido currently sit second, having claimed 4 points from 2 games so far, whilst Deportes Tolima are third after taking only 1 point.
Deportes Tolima (home)
- Deportes Tolima have only won 1 of their last 5 matches in all competitions (D1, L3).
- Lucas Gonzalez has done a tremendous job of making Deportes Tolima a force to be reckoned with.
- His teams tend to play a 4-3-3 system which allows them plenty of tactical flexibility, whilst they usually dominate possession.
- The home side’s recent form has been poor however (W1, D1, L3) and a clash with an on-fire Coquimbo side, who have won their last 2 consecutive away games, will not be easy.
Coquimbo Unido (away)
- Coquimbo Unido are undefeated in 5 consecutive games (W3, D2), winning both of their last two away.
- The visitors’ success under their new coach, Hernan Caputto, based on a high-tempo game in which Coquimbo press ferociously to win the ball back and their transitions are incredibly direct.
- Cristian Zavala is the visitors’ main goal threat with 1 in the Libertadores so far, but with 3 goals in Coquimbo’s last 5 competitive games, the evergreen Nicolas Johansen is their most potent finisher.
- Coquimbo have scored 2.00 goals per game (avg) and conceded none away from home in the Copa Libertadores group stage.
Brayan Rovira
their #10, Brayan Rovira (1 goal in 2 Copa Libertadores appearances), is their main threat to unlock the Coquimbo press and create opportunities.
Cristian Zavala
Cristian Zavala is the visitors’ main goal threat with 1 in the Libertadores so far.
Nicolas Johansen
with 3 goals in Coquimbo’s last 5 competitive games, the evergreen Nicolas Johansen is their most potent finisher.
Betting Insights
- With the intensity that Coquimbo bring to games and their current momentum, we’re going with the away win at 4.22.
- Both teams to score - No will also be added to the selection at 1.67, as the defensive nature of the game should outweigh both teams scoring.
Prediction
Under 2.5 goals will be added to the main selection at 1.58 , as the solid nature of the hosts and the clinical finishing of the away side should leave little room for goals.
