Fortaleza vs Estudiantes L.P. Match Preview

Fortaleza welcomes Estudiantes La Plata in the first match for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores.

The hosts managed to reach the top 16 of the tournament but have their mind on the domestic league where they are in last place in the standings. Playing with key players in their last league match, they lost their two-goal lead that they had until 76 'and finally lost the match conceding a goal in 96'. In addition, the home of the Brazilians is not scary since in 8 home league games they tasted a victory only once.

On the other hand, Estudiantes is a team that traditionally participates in international competitions having won the title 4 times and consequently has the experience to manage such games. Characteristic is the fact that they finished first in their group having the convenience in the last game to play with a big rotation. The away goal rule is not valid in this competition, so if the "students" do not lose in Brazil, they will have a clear lead for the qualification.

Taking into account all the above, I consider that the possibility of the guests winning is not reflected in the suggested odds. I will bet 3 units on the away win. Draw No Bet is offered at 2.65 odds and I'll pick this to get my stake back in case of a draw.
