Velez - Fortaleza: betting tip and bets for the Copa Libertadores match (August 20, 2025) from UPU

Velez was fighting for a place in the playoffs, far from being in the simplest group, in which there was no clear favorite and all four teams had chances for the playoffs. In such a difficult situation, the Forties performed quite well and won the group with 11 points. In the first match of the 1/8 finals, Velez stood up in Brazil and scored a goalless draw, now the Argentines are the favorites of the pair.

Fortaleza was much less lucky with the draw for the group stage, and the tricolor team got an extremely difficult group, but initially they were considered clear contenders for a ticket to the playoffs. As a result, Renato Paiva's team made it to the playoffs from the second place, scoring eight points in six rounds. However, it was not possible to beat Velez at home in the first match of the 1/8 finals, a zero draw leaves few chances for the quarterfinals.
