Talleres de Cordoba vs Flamengo: Betting on a draw

In the fourth round of the Libertadores Cup group stage, Brazilian Flamengo travel to Argentina's Talleres, who were beaten 3:1 in the first round at the Maracana. Logically, the Red and Black are regarded as the favourites. On the other hand, we shouldn't underestimate the Argentines, who are performing well in South America's most prestigious tournament.

The club has completely failed to win the domestic cup in the Liga Cup. Of their 13 games in this competition, they have won just two, nine defeats, and a goal difference of 8:21. However, things are not so bad for them in the Libertadores Cup. After three rounds played, the Argentines have six points: home victories over Universidad Católica and Sporting Cristal and an away defeat by Flamengo. All of the forces of Talleres are focused on the Libertadores Cup, and the hosts will do everything possible to at least not lose to the Brazilians in the upcoming game.

Flamengo has a very busy schedule. The Red and Blacks play in the Brazilian in addition to the Libertadores Cup and Serie A. After beating Universidad Católica (3:2), Flamengo beat Altos 2:1 also away in the Brazilian Cup. Overall, the upcoming match in Argentina will be Flamengo's fourth consecutive away match since April 23. Victory in Argentina will allow the Red and Blacks to guarantee in advance not only a place in the play-offs but also the most likely first place in the group.

It's been obvious the Libertadores Cup is the Libertadores' main rival. And the Argentines have won two games on home soil. The Red and Blacks are much stronger on paper than their arch-rivals. They're serious about the Libertadores Cup and believe they can guarantee a place in the tournament's play-offs as soon as possible. We think that Flamengo has a good chance not to lose in Argentina and expect at least two goals in the upcoming game. Our first bet is X2+TO (1.5) for 1.59.

We have noted that Cordoba Caleres is serious about the Libertadores Cup, with two home wins in two games, and will try to pick up points against Flamengo to maintain second place in the Group H standings. The Brazilians are happy with a draw in Argentina, and the home side is also likely to be satisfied with a draw. The second bet on the game is a draw for 3.72.

The third bet is the 1:1 draw for 7.00.
