Copa Libertadores tonight

[pattymayo]

starts in about an hour... anyone betting on Nacional v Estudiantes?

I see Estudiantes won the first leg at home 1-0... I want to take Nacional at +130, but does anyone know how the aggregate works, or if there even is one? I remember in the Champions League road goals counted as two, is that the same here?

if Nacional is down 1-0 after the first leg, that means they must win 2-0, or 3-1, something like that?

If Nacional win 1-0 it goes to extra-time, 2-0 they qualify, 2-1 they are out because of the away goal.

Estundiantes are missing Veron, possibly Celay and last games goal scorer Galvan. Everytime I watch this team without Veron they have looked hopeless in attack.

Nacional have to attack and go for the win and have opted for a 3-4-2-1 formation with 3 forwards.

I not that impressed with Nacional offensively either however, they are at home, in a semi-final and are fighting for national pride.

I don't see Estundiantes getting much from this game however, they do have a strong defense.

Nacional Win or Under2.5 goals is worth looking at in my opinion.

I read somewhere that no fans from Argentina were allowed to go to Nacional stadium in Uruaguay to watch the game?

Nacional's crowd will be the 12th man IMO... I'm watching the pre-game right now and they are going crazy already... this appears to be a pretty big tournament in South America, just like the Champions League

I'm going big on Nacional +125 ... lets do it boys..

Yeah, there was an agreement which was made and broken so no Nacional fans were allowed in the Estundiantes game and now no Estu fans can come to the Nacional game.

This is the Champions League of South America, Estundiantes are the better team on paper but are missing their big names in this game. Nacional fans are going to go insane in this game, Estundiantes don't have much attacking threat and will try to defend their lead.

I like Nacional at home aswell, its been a long time since a Uruguay team made it to the final, they got the pressure of their countries pride on their shoulders.

I like Nacional at home aswell, its been a long time since a Uruguay team made it to the final, they got the pressure of their countries pride on their shoulders.

Which could be a bad thing if they crumble to the pressure. But being down 1-0, they know they need to come out attacking, attacking, attacking, and at least knock home two goals.

This crowd is insane... go NACIONAL

[pattymayo]

aaaaaaand Estudiantes scores.. terrible defense by Nacional. Need a miracle now. Ugh

[pattymayo]
