Sport Huancayo - Defensor Sporting

Copa Sudamericana

Had a high stakes bet in mind a few games ago, but it looks like Huancayo won't be using their best line-up, and despite the squad looking much better than in the first leg, I can't fully trust them. And it remains to be seen how they will play, as qualification is obviously out of the question, but they can at least save their dignity and wash away part of the shame that they suffered in Uruguay (hope they'll be motivated by what happened to their ex-coach, who had to flee Huancayo as he received death threats from the fans). And that's what they say they'll do, wash the shame. In their favor comes, as I said, a better team that took the field in Uruguay, plus a new coach and the altitude advantage, so now there won't be any excuses for not winning. Defensor will probably come for a walk in the park, knowing there is no possible way for them to lose qualification. For that matter, they will only reach Huancayo about 2 hours before the game, and I doubt their minds are too focused on the match. The altitude should take it's toll on the Uruguayan team, so they will just wait to finish the formality of this match. Four changes are expected in their team, but I doubt that will have a huge impact on the game. GL!

Sport Huancayo (-0.5 AH) @ 2.02, 4/10
Result: 2-0, WON
