Copa Libertadores
I like this match a lot, despite the fact that I usually hate handicaps higher than 1.00 in South American competitions. But for this clash, the Brazilians have reportedly prepared a super-offensive team, in an attempt to solve the qualification issue tonight, without having to go and work to hard in Colombia. As reports are saying, Corinthians will use 3 strikers tonight, namely Jorge Henrique, very talented Dentinho, and veteran Ronaldo - whose experience could prove invaluable to the team. Along them, offensive midfielder Bruno Cesar should also play, and he can cause some havoc with his forward runs. And let's not forget the other veteran, Roberto Carlos, who can still cause a lot of problems on the left flank. Corinthians didn't enjoy a very good start of the Paulista championship, so I'm counting on them to turn it around in this match, especially since they are playing at home, and last year in Serie A they have won 15 out of 19 games. I don't see Tolima as being anything special, especially away from home, in front of the hard-core Brazilian supporters. Their only hope is to keep the scoreline to a minimum and hope to turn it around in Colombia, but really doubt that can happen. Corinthians could easily win by at least 2 goals even if they play in the second gear, so it will probably all depend on how lazy the Brazilians get, but knowing that this is a two-legged match, my money's on committed performance. GL!
Corinthians (-1.5 AH) @ 2.07, 3/10
Result: 0-0, LOST
