Emelec - Olimpia

Copa Libertadores 2012, Group Stage

Last season, betting on over on the matches between these two teams was highly profitable, and even though the ultra-offensive Carrasco is no longer a coach at Emelec, this bet is still good today, especially with the slightly lower line. Both teams have solid squads, and both have kicked-off their divisions with a win. Emelec made a solid match to take the 3 points from a tough away game, while Olimpia made a spectacular match with the newly-promoted Carapegua. And here is the main point of this bet. Olimpia looked very good offensively, scoring 3 goals and also missing a penalty kick that had to be taken twice, but also showed some problems in defense. And since just a little time passed from that match, and the same system/players are expected to face Emelec, I believe that both teams should score with ease here, especially since it's a must-win match for both of them, being hard to hope for a qualification in a group with Lanus and Flamengo. Bottom line is that both teams have good offensive players, while the defenses still have a lot to improve, so this will be a huge surprise if we won't see at least 3 goals. GL!

over 2.25 goals @ 1.95, 5/10
Result: 1-0, LOST
