The Strongest to Win at Half Time and Full time
We expected Plaza Colonia to pull off a win in the first game and we were right, but now the tables will be turned when The Strongest hosts the second leg.
The team from Bolivia is a huge favourite in this game and we do expect them to win it since they are in much better form than Plaza Colonia. With that in mind, our prediction is for The Strongest to lead at half time and to win at the end.
Over 2.5 Total Goals
While neither of these two teams is known for playing a lot of high-scoring matches, we can see this game going over 2.5 total goals simply because the home team has to attack from the start to make up the deficit.
This should open a lot of room for the guests and we can see the game ending with three or more goals being scored, especially if we see a goal early in the first half.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Since we expect this match to end with three or more goals, we can also see both teams scoring to add to the final tally. With that in mind, our next prediction is for both teams to score.
Once again, the recent results by both teams don’t really back us up on the prediction and the odds show that this is not what the bookies expect either. Still, we have a feeling that we are about to see both teams score in this game.
The Strongest vs Plaza Colonia preview: Can the guests put up a fight?
The Strongest
After an exciting title race against last season, The Strongest ended the season in the third place. Reaching the group stages of Copa Libertadores through qualifiers is a tough task for any Bolivian team, but The Strongest have started the new season in domestic league with a three wins and a draw, so they are in good form. However, they will have to overcome a two-goal deficit from the first leg against Plaza Colonia, which may be too much to ask.
Plaza Colonia
The surprising winners of Uruguayan Apertura from last season now have a chance to reach the group stages of Copa Libertadores, which even their fans probably couldn’t expect. The team enters the second leg against The Strongest with a two-goal advantage and if they can defend it they will go to the final stage of qualifiers. Meanwhile, Plaza Colonia collected five points from the first four matches in their domestic championship.
