Santos - Colo Colo

Copa Libertadores

Both of these two teams are coming after a tough moment, and they need to improve rapidly if they want to avoid a crisis or some problems with the fans. Colo Colo enters this match as leaders of the group, with 6 points, and a win in Brazil will pretty much secure their qualification. The thing is that they haven't won a single game since beating Santos a few weeks ago. Their chances to win the national title are 0, and the fans are showing signs of unrest, and a loss tonight will only flare the tempers even more, as Colo could find itself in a very bad situation also in Libertadores, especially if Tachira wins Cerro Porteno. All 3 of their matches in the group so far have ended with a lot of goals, so that's a good set for this match, especially since Santos desperately needs to win this game, and they need to do it in an impressive fashion. They only have 2 points after 3 matches, so a slip-up here could see them making an early exit from the Copa. And after losing last week's derby against Palmeiras, the players, especially Ganso and Neymar, have been submitted to heavy criticism, so I expect them to be fired up tonight, to prove everybody what they are capable of. Just one over for them in 3 matches, but now they are in quite a critical situation, so they can't afford to sit back, and Colo Colo can hurt any team on the counter attacks. GL!
