Wednesday Copa Libertadores Best Bets: Three Value Bets From South America

Scott Thornton

Copa Libertadores Best Bets: Wednesday, June 28th

We have three bets for Wednesday night’s action in the Copa Libertadores. The teams have all played five matches so there is just one game remaining for them to secure their places in the knockout rounds.

Flamengo are the current holders and they still have work to do to make it to the next stage of the competition. Nonetheless, they are still amongst the favourites to win the whole thing.

Corinthians vs Liverpool Montevideo Preview

Thursday, June 29th, 01:30 (UK)

Corinthians have made a poor start to their campaign both domestically and in the Cope Libertadores. They have been eliminated from the competition heading into the last game but they will be looking to salvage a place in the Copa Sudamericana. They are marooned in 15th place in the Brazilian Serie A and have just three wins in their last 10 matches.

Liverpool Montevideo are level on points with Corinthians after five group matches. The team are 6th in Uruguay’s top flight. The team also have a poor record in this competition in the last two seasons.

Corinthians vs Liverpool Montevideo Best Bet

Despite their poor form, we are backing the home side to win comfortably here. Corinthians won 3-0 when they travelled to Montevideo earlier in the group. Their fans will be keen to see the team remain in a continental competition and the Sudamericana could breathe life in what looks set to be a poor season for the club.

Liverpool Montevideo have lost seven of their last 10 matches in the Copa Libertadores or Copa Sudamericana. They have also lost their last four away matches in continental tournaments; three of those losses were by the required margin for this bet to land.

Selection: Corinthians Asian Handicap -1.25
Best Odds: 2.20 (bet365)
Stakes: 7/10

Flamengo vs Aucas Preview

Thursday, June 29th, 01:30 (UK)

Flamengo have been a real force in South American football in recent years. They have reached three of the last four Copa Libertadores finals; winning twice and losing once. The team are now managed by Jorge Sampaoli. There has been progress since the start of his tenure and they look capable of going all the way yet again.

Aucas are currently 4th in Ecuador’s Serie A. They are unable to qualify for the knockout stages of the Libertadores but they could still secure 3rd spot and a place in the Copa Sudamericana.

Flamengo vs Aucas Best Bet

Flamengo have won eight of their last 10 home matches in all competitions. Over that period they have scored an average of 2.6 goals per game and they are capable of putting Aucas to the sword on Wednesday night. Incredible, Flamengo have won their last 12 home matches in the Copa Sudamericana.

Aucas have been poor on the road in recent weeks. They are without a win in six away matches. Their form on the road in continental competition makes for even worse reading. They have won just one away match in these tournaments since the start of 2016.

Selection: Flamengo To Win To Nil & Over 1 Goal In The Match For Flamengo
Best Odds: 1.86 (bet365)
Stakes: 7/10

Internacional vs Independiente Medellin Preview

Wednesday, June 28th,23:00 (UK)

Neither of these teams have secured a spot in the knockout phase heading into the final group match. Internacional are 2nd, one point behind Medellin, who lead group B. The earlier game between these two sides ended 1-1 and this one promises to be another tantalising affair.

Independiente Medellin have been lacklustre domestically. They are 13th after 18 matches and face an uphill battle if they want to qualify for this competition next season. The team have saved their best football for the Copa Libertadores and their season highlight so far was the victory over Nacional.

Internacional vs Independiente Medellin Best Bet

Internacional have a formidable record at the Estadio Beira-Rio. They have lost just one of their last 20 matches at the ground and they have kept 12 clean sheets in that period. The team are also unbeaten in their last 10 matches in front of their own fans in continental competitions.

Medellin aren’t in great form. They have won just one of their last six matches in all competitions; failing to score in four of those. The last time Medellin travelled to take on Internacional, they lost 2-0.

Selection: Internacional To Win to Nil
Best Odds: 2.37 (bet365)
Stakes: 7/10

Odds via bet365 as at 11:00 27th June 2023. Odds may now differ.
