Copa Libertadores
LDU is again at home in Libertadores, and once again the handicap line is pretty big, even though the opposition is Argentinian. But even so, Liga should be too much at home for Godoy, especially since the visitors aren't in spectacular form. Just one win in the last 5 matches, and that one came against lowly Huracan, so definitely not impressive. In Libertadores they lost two weeks ago 1-2 in Montevideo, and if we go for a stretched-relation between the games, Penarol lost 5-0 in Quito, so Godoy probably knows what's waiting for them. For LDU is the same story all over again. Solid team, good players, working well, high altitude gives them a huge advantage, and they are more or less unbeatable at home. The only problem is that this isn't a must-win match for them. A draw qualifies them, so a win would only help them win the group is Penarol fails to win. It could also help them finish higher in the second place table, so as to get an easier group winner in the eight of finals. Anyway, it's not their style to play for a draw at home, and if they can give their opponents a serious beat-down, they will. Godoy knows their chances to qualify are slim, so an early goal conceded will ruin both their plan and morale. LDU to clearly win this match. GL!
LDU (-1 AH) @ 1.86, 5/10
Result: 2-0, WON
