Copa Sudamericana
Santa Fe will be looking to take advantage of a troubled Atletico Mineiro side, when they face each other in tonight's Copa Sudamericana. The Brazilian team is fighting fiercely against relegation, as after a few mathces where they have shown some improvement, they find themselves just 2 points behind the safe zone. And most importantly, next weekend they will play at home against Avai, one of their main rivals for avoiding relegation, so their focus will surely go there. From the most notable misses, we can see that top scorer Diego Tardelli will miss the game through injury, same as midifielders Ricardinho (21/6) and Fabiano (10/0), as well as forward Daniel Carvalho (10/2). But besides them, more regulars are expected to be rested, as Mineiro's players are accusing a heavy state of fatigue, and to worsen that is the last thing they need before the 10 rounds of their Serie A. Meanwhile, a much fresher Colombian side will come to Brazil with all they have, and all their regulars are expected to start tonight's game. Despite some recent slip-ups in the league and the cup, they are still a side that needs to be taken into consideration, as their full attention goes to the Copa Sudamericana. These odds might seem fair under normal circumstances, but with the Brazilians in all sorts of problems, I think there's some value on the Colombians, and I don't expect them to lose here. GL!
Santa Fe (+0.75) @ 1.86, 3/10
Result: 2-0, LOST
