The Strongest vs Club Atletico Penarol Prediction and Betting Tips (22.08.2024)

Command Analysis

The Strongest

Bolivia

Current form

Strongest had a very strong group stage, where they created a number of sensations and unexpectedly won the group against Gremio, Huachipato and Estudiantes, securing a ticket to the playoffs ahead of schedule. In the 1/8 finals, Ismael Rescalvo's team faced Peñarol, and given their performance in the group, they could well have counted on reaching the quarterfinals, but the 0:4 fiasco in Montevideo reduces this probability to almost zero.

Disqualifications and injuries

The hosts have no problems with injuries.

Interesting trends for betting

Strongest have lost just one of their last 14 home games.
Strongest have conceded seven goals in their last three games

Approximate composition : Vizcarra - Cayre, Jusino, Aymar, Chura - Ayarza, Cuellar, Ursino - Amoroso, Triverio, Arrascaita.

Club Atletico Penarol

Uruguay

Current form

Peñarol were not considered clear favourites in their Copa Libertadores group either – Atlético Mineiro and Rosario Central were the main contenders for the two playoff spots. However, the “golden and black” secured an early exit from the group, finishing in second place with 12 points. In the first match against Strongest, Peñarol were magnificent – a 4:0 victory practically guarantees a quarter-final.

Disqualifications and injuries

Ignacio Sosa is injured.

Interesting trends for betting

Peñarol played Strongest away twice and lost both matches
Peñarol have failed to score in only one of their last six matches

Probable line-up : Aguerre, Lucas Hernandez, Rodriguez, Mendes, Milans – Darias, Garcia, Baez, Fernandez, Cabrera – Silvera Cabo.

Tip and bets

1.95total over three goals

"Strongest" lost by four goals in the first match and the chances of recouping are minimal, but the hosts will definitely make an attempt to make a comeback. The Uruguayans are clearly not used to playing at an altitude of more than 3.5 thousand meters above sea level, and the "tigers" will probably convert this advantage into goals, they score a lot and regularly at home. At the same time, "Penarol" will have a lot of space for counterattacks, the guests are quite capable of responding.

We believe that the match will be productive. Betting Tip - total over three goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.95

Bet on the outcome

"Strongest" will certainly strive to take revenge - on their home field "tigers" are almost flawless. Peñarol, having lost the last two matches in La Paz to the opponent, today has little chance to remain undefeated - it is hardly worth counting on a victory with a difference of four goals, but confidently, "tigers" are capable of winning by two goals.

Bet - Asian handicap (-1) on "Strongest". This bet is offered for 1.61
