Peñarol vs. Deportes Iquique (Copa Libertadores)
Pick: UNDER 3 goals

Vélez Sarsfield vs. Emelec (Copa Libertadores)
Pick: Velez -0.5

Santos de Laguna vs. Seattle Sounders (CONCACAF Champions League)
Pick: Seattle Sounders +1.5

Why unders at Penarol?

They need to win with alot of goals, will attack non stop and Iquique is bad at defense.

[andyrocha90]

Yea I was reading. But just cuz a team needs goals doesn't mean theyll make them. Iquique is well rested. Penarol just played 3 days ago. I have a feeling this will end 2-0

[andyrocha90]

Jas, where is your source for Copa Lib news. I usually have to go through google and a lot of bs to find info on each team lol

it really depends on Iquique's attitude
they can simply give everything up and do Penarol a favor
or they can play their best in the last match
but yet the are the away team

Iquique is pretty much out. They will try not to get embarresed and push for a draw. At least thats what I believe

Tigre vs. Sporting Cristal (Copa Libertadores)

Pick: Sporting Cristal +0.5

[andyrocha90]

Great job andy, appreciate the picks!

thank you!

[Jaszaafca]

Velez and Emelec obv fixed the draw haha.

[andyrocha90]

Velez and Emelec obv fixed the draw haha.

Lol the pace in that game was so slow. Probably the most boring Copa game I've seen all year. And yeah I read they needed a draw, thats why draw odds were so low

[andyrocha90]

Real Garcilaso vs. Cerro Porteno (Copa Libertadores)
Pick: Over 2.5 goals

Tijuana vs. Millionarios (Copa Libertadores)
Pick: Under 2.5 goals

Corinthians vs. San Jose (Copa Libertadores)
Pick: Corinthians -1.5

Monterrey vs. Los Angeles Galaxy (CONCACAF Champions League)
Pick: Galaxy +1

[Jaszaafca]

Agree with Garcilaso and Corinthians big time!

Galaxy dont have a clue on Concacaf to be fair, and Tijuana -1 looks better then under, Tijuana strong in Copa.

[andyrocha90]

Have a strong feeling Galaxy will have a chance at turning things around. Im from LA so I watch them a lot, and so far all the disappointing results have come late in games, like last week. They are better than that. I think Galaxy at least will accomplish a draw, Monterrey has not been convincing, yea sure they won the lastgame in the final minutes, but where were they the rest of thw game.Also this weekend in Liga MX they looked terrible and fatigue will play a role. Galaxy had no game this weekend.

Tijuana on the other hand has been very complacent with results of 1-0 or
draw, they lack the spark they had last year, I believe playing league games and flying out for 12 hours every weekto South America is getting to them. We know Millionaires is awful. So I doubt they will score especially on Tijuana's artificial turf. Also, Tijuana can take it easy, they are already qualified for the next phase

[Jaszaafca]

Bam Cerro scores, now overs is sure imo, I already had a feeling Cerro could score because I saw Garcilaso-Tolima and Garcilaso is real crap in defense and Cerro got Nanni playing.

1-1 after 12 minutes, great start

[Jaszaafca]

Just heard Cerro didnt send their manager to the game looool, so imo its sure Garcilaso will win at the end haha.

[Jaszaafca]

Very nice, had over 2.5 and over 3.5 pre game and over 4.5 at ht, all won

[Jaszaafca]

Horrible ref at Corinthians, clear penalty not given lol.

They look up for it tho.

Defense of San Jose is a joke, so many spaces behind it.

[clting08]

Any selection on Mexico Cup? Games starts in 15 minutes...

[dk70]

Red on San Jose.

[andyrocha90]

Im not betting on that game. Its a cointoss. But if I was I'd take Cruz Azul, means much more to them. Or the under 2.5 goals

[clting08]

Corinthians 2 : 0. Hold on......

Miss earlier game Real Over 2.5

[Jaszaafca]

Corinthians never do it easy and just score 4.

[andyrocha90]

Real Garcilaso/Cerro Porteno: OVER 2.5 goals = WIN
Tijuana/Millionarios: UNDER 2.5 goals = WIN
Corinthians -1.5 = WIN
Galaxy +1 = PUSH


3-0 for today

19-12 overall

[andyrocha90]

Palmeiras vs. Libertad (Copa Libertadores)

going to try to take advantage of these odds before they go to sh*t tomorrow.
both these teams in my opinion are great, Palmeiras a regulated team, trying to prove themselves, and Libertad is just a beautiful team to watch out there.
I saw the first encounter between these two, dont let the result fool you because Palmeiras had alot of solid opportunities in that game, but I must admit, Libertad played a level above when it comes to quality. At first glance at this game, I thought over, Palmeiras, needs the win here, but so does Libertad, this group is very tight in points that a loss can really cut the chances of getting into the next round.
Palmeiras is the host side, they have the edge, but Libertad has shown good away form in league and Copa games, this is a very very tricky game but I will have to put my trust in Libertad in this match.

My Pick: Libertad +0.5

[andyrocha90]

Olimpia vs. Newell's Old Boys (Copa Libertadores)
Pick: Newells Old Boys DNB/PICK

Deportivo Lara vs. Universidad Chile (Copa Libertadores)
Pick: Deportivo Lara DNB/PICK

[gossie]

Olimpia vs. Newell's Old Boys (Copa Libertadores)
Pick: Newells Old Boys DNB/PICK

Deportivo Lara vs. Universidad Chile (Copa Libertadores)
Pick: Deportivo Lara DNB/PICK

i am quite confident for a draw on Olimpia vs. Newell's Old Boys

unlessold boys are seeking for a first place to qualify

i will wait until the starting line-up to make a bet

how do you think

[andyrocha90]

yea. it is looking that way. but I hate betting draws.

Newell's coach has said he is going for the 3 points despite only needing 1. He wants the first place position.
Argentinians are arrogant like that lol.

yeah just wait to see if Scocoo is in the starting line up

[Jaszaafca]

Libertad is terrible.

[andyrocha90]

Game is pretty much evened out. Palmeiras scored on their best oppurtunity. Libertad had the most opportunities.

Tough loss for me, game should have been a draw. Oh wells

[dk70]

Uh oh. Newell's just pick up a red card and has given Olimpio a PK.

[Bluedragon]

should i count my parlay with Newell's +0.5 done? ouch.

[andyrocha90]

Uh oh. Newell's just pick up a red card and has given Olimpio a PK.

yep. it was a penalty. red card was kinda harsh though, he had intention towards the ball.

and that one goal Newell's Figueroa missed in the 20th, even I could have scored that lol
