A Quick Estudiantes de Merida vs Palestino Preview
Estudiantes de Merida
The Venezuelan team has been disappointing during the first part of the group stage. Ali Cañas’ team did not score a single goal. Worse still, they scored just one goal.
Although they had recently accumulated consecutive wins in the Venezuelan tournament, Estudiantes de Mérida lost 7 of their last 10 matches. In round 3 of the Copa Conmebol Sudamericana, the Venezuelan team travelled to Brazil to face Fortaleza. Once there, the team had good moments in the first half that ended 2-1, but in the second half, Fortaleza scored 4 more.
