Copa Libertadores 10th -

[raven]

Wasn't gonna get involved with this one, but b365 offering a fair price imo...

Atletico PR (brazil) v Indep. Medellin (colombia) (1) 1.66 b365. av. odds 1.50. bf 1.62.

group1.
Atl on top of the group with 10pts.
Medellin in 3rd with 7 and they'll need a win here imo as i expect Cali (in 2nd) to see of Libertad.

Atl @ home: w2 d0 l0. gf3 ga1.
Indep. away: w0 d0 l2. gf2 ga4.

(the match in Colombia was a 2-2 draw.)

now for the bad news; Atl have some injury doubts and suspended players and have lost all 3 of their games in the Brazilian Campeonato, although the only really bad result was @ home to Ponte Preta as the other 2 were away losses to Juventude and Santos - Brazil being a very home-win type league and Santos are the best team in South America imo.

and the good news:
Medellin are having a poor season in Colombia - in 8th place and, even in their domestic league, they are poor away from home with their first (and last) win on the 12th Feb.

the price for the (1) is too short in tonight's other game but maybe a couple more later in the week; LDU and Santos, probably, depending on how they're priced.

Do you know what positions the suspended players play Raven? I'm thinking overs if Medellin are needing the win to qualify.

FT 0-4
good shout on the O2.5, daikoku.

i never used to be as bad as this, honestly.

[daikoku]

I never bothered taking it Raven, didn't think it was worth the risk :pat . The result wasn't without consequences though as the Atletico's coach resigned after the game, in fact he might have been sacked. They've had a poor start to the season considering how well they did last year, but my understanding is they've sold some key players from last years side.

Palmeiras look a sound bet tonight.

Osmar returns to lead strike force and Palmieras need a point minimum to qualify but I fancy them to take all three here at home to the excellent but relaxed Cerro.

Dont often get quality Brazilian sides at 1.70 betfair at home and Im prepared to take a punt on this

[daikoku]

I've got small stakes on the draw Matt seeing as a point will suit both teams. Don't know why the match hasn't kicked off yet, maybe livescore is slow?

[daikoku]

Livescore seems to be working now 0-0 after 19 minutes. Question is can I be bothered waiting up for the result

[aliensyndm]

Knowing live score is probably actually about half time. They always seem way behind on such games. Tosh used to have some good links for live scores on such games, where's the wee scouse git when you need him eh ?

[daikoku]

I reckon there's about a ten minute lag alien. HT now and still 0-0, I'd quite like it stay like that .

[daikoku]

0-0 FT, makes up for my earlier blunder in the Italian Cup. Palmeiras even had Francisco sent off in the 56th minute. Santo Andre must be gutted after humping Tachira 6-0, a sneaky goal from Cerro Portena and Santo would've gone through.

Shite I'm up in 5 hours

[aliensyndm]

You're up in 5 hours but after that bet you're also "up".
Tough luck matt, you do well enough on baseball without winning at footy anyway
