Odds: Botafogo (10/11) Draw (12/5) San Lorenzo (3/1)Gamingtips Prediction – Botafogo 1:0 San Lorenzo
Botafogo have lost 4 of their last 5 games and other than a 4:0 win over Ecuadorian side Quito (4:0) they scored just 1 goal in 4 games. San Lorenzo currently top the Argentina Torneo having lost just 4 of their opening 19 games – they have one of highest scoring records in that division (scored 29 in 19) and one of the best defensive records (conceded 17 in 19) and they will be very difficult to break down and may be able to cause an upset on Tuesday evening. Generally home sides do well in the Copa Libertadores unless there is a massive difference in quality – this game could go either way but based on recent form and statistics, San Lorenzo have a good chance of keeping this game very close and they offer a value bet at odds of 3/1.
