Today is the 2nd Leg of Copa Sud knockout stages, starting at 6:15pm EST.
Botafogo ( Bra ) vs Sol de America ( Par ) : 6:15pm
Botagoga -1 @ 2.09 ( Pinn )
Half / Full @ 2.40 ( Pinn ) small play
Botafogo owns a slim 1 - 0 away win in Paraguay. They are a big market team that will showcase themselves in front of a raucous home crowd in Rio de Janiero. They are among the elite sides in Brazil ,playing in Series A, and have a transfer value in excess of $32 mill. Sol de America are a decent side that plays in a much smaller market and has a transfer value in the $1 mill range. The one benefit for them is the fact that they are off until July from League play, and haven't played in a week. Botafogo just played on May 25th vs #1 Palmeiras , and lost 1 - 0 despite a superior possession ( 63% - 37% ). They also lost away to Goias 1 -0, but rested several starters. Despite the 1 - 0 lead from the 1st leg , they will be chomping at the bit to get a win tonight against a minnow who has lost 3 straight.
Adding :
Atl. Nacional ( Col ) vs Fluminense ( Bra ) : 8:30pm EST
Over 2.5 @ 1.85 ( Pinn )
The 1st leg was a resounding 4 - 1 thumping by Fluminense , so Atl. Nacional have to throw caution to the wind and press the issue. I don't see Fluminense resting the " A " team and taking their foot off the gas pedal. Regardless , there should be plenty of space to counter attack.
