Vasco da Gama unexpectedly lost to the main outsider of the group, Puerto Cabello, due to which the Brazilian club's chances of the play-offs have significantly decreased. Although all of Vasco da Gama's failures at the tournament happened only in away matches - 1 draw and 2 defeats, in South American tournaments the factor of home stadium is of great importance. So at home Vasco da Gama is considered the favourite in the current confrontation, especially since the hosts are satisfied today only with a victory to go further.
Melgar will be satisfied with a draw today to keep the second line and be in the 1/16 playoffs, but still we believe that on the road they will not be able to hold off the onslaught of the opponent, who is noticeably stronger than them in terms of the strength of the squad and experience in the tournament.
Prediction: Vasco da Gama to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 1.43
