In the opening fixture of the qualification round of Copa Libertadores Leg 2, Zamora FC will take on Boston River at the Agustín Tovar in Barinas. In leg 1, Boston River emerged as winners, ensuring a comprehensive win (3-0). The previous fixture was the first ever meeting of the two sides in the Libertadores stage. Taking confidence from the last fixture, Boston is likely to keep things simple and play naturally. Continue reading to find out more about the two teams and the possible outcomes of the matchup.

Although Venezuelan coach Francesco Stifano has experienced this type of match previously and is aware that his team needs to play flawlessly in order to change the score. The coach must also consider the line-ups used by Zamora and Boston River in order to make a wise decision. Following the loss in the first leg, Zamora participated in the second round of Venezuelan football and lost to Carabobo by a score of 3-0. Reserving some of his top players for the second leg of the continental event was a decision made by the Venezuelan coach, it is important to note. In the upcoming fixture and matches ahead, Zamora needs to cut down its goals conceding average which is around 3.00 goals per match in Libertadores. With a pretty inconsistent form in the contest, Zamora is likely to struggle against Boston River.

Unfortunately Boston River couldn’t carry its unbeaten run in the Leg 2 of Libertadores. Going in the matchup against Zamora, Boston is coming off a thrashing defeat against Cerro (0-3), which has certainly dented tema’s confidence. Talking about the win in the first leg, Leonard Costa, Matias Acuna, and Emilinao Gomez scored goals. For the upcoming game, Boston might look to play with a reasonable defensive approach instead of attacking. Coach Daniel Farias might take some strong and arguable decisions for resting a few players for the second leg fixture away from home. Boston River has scored 5 and conceded 4 goals in its last three matches, hence, it seems as if the upcoming fixture will be an opportunity for the home side.

Though Boston River is coming off a defeat against Cerro, it is likely to manage its defense and restrict the opposition from scoring. Zamora has also suffered a clean sheet defeat in its last outing, hence, the form of two teams has been affected. According to my expert analysis, Zamora is likely to come back strong at home, restricting the visitors from scoring in the first half. The game total is expected to be over 2.5 goals and both teams to score. About the final scoreline, I believe Boston is quite equipped on paper and is likely to win 1-2.
