As part of the second leg of the 1/8 finals of the South American Cup, the players of Santos and Deportivo Tachira will come face to face. Which of the rivals will be able to win in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
"Santos"
The Santos players are currently on the 10th line in the Brazilian Serie A standings. The team has 19 points scored due to 4 wins and 7 draws. The gap from the leading "Palmeiras" is already 10 points, which looks like an impressive margin. Note that in the 3 previous matches of the Brazilian championship, the hosts did not win. They drew with Bragantino and Corinthians, and also lost to Flamengo with a score of 1:2.
"Deportivo Tachira"
"Deportivo" is currently on the 4th line in the standings. The team has 29 points to its credit, obtained due to 8 wins and 5 draws. Note that Depor is 5 points behind Metropolitanos, but the team can win back this advantage. In the last meetings of the national championship "Tachira" plays extremely unstable. The club diluted the victories over Aragua and Mineros with a defeat in the confrontation with Monagas.
Statistics and figures:
- The hosts are listed as the favorites of the meeting;
- "Santos" won only 1 meeting out of 10 previous ones in all matches;
- "Deportivo" has 2 wins in 5 matches;
- The first meeting of the 1/8 finals between the clubs ended in a draw – 1:1.
Forecast
I assume that Santos will be able to win this game. Moreover, the club from Brazil will win, at least, with a difference of 1 goal. Our bet will be in favor of "black and white" for a solid betting quote.
