Fluminense-LDU (Copa Libertadores Final)

[JCtips]

LDU won the 1st leg 4-2 but altitude played a major factor in that game.
Today's game will be played in Maracana (Rio de Janeiro) with over 80,000 Fluminense fans.
Fluminense's strongest sector in the team is their defense (they scored 16 goals and conceded only 2 in their 6 home "Libertadores" games).
LDU usually plays in a 3-5-2 formation with the left back and righ back working almost as "wingers" and not defenders in the home games. Today, I'm betting they'll stay at the back as they usually do (like recently against Club América and San Lorenzo) and just look for the counter attack.
LDU's strongest sector is their midfield where they have very good players and know how to be patient.
I expect a tight, low scoring game with LDU trying to keep it slow and played in midfield.
Good value in the under 2.75 at this price (1.98) IMO.
My pick: <2.75;

Good luck!

Maybe corect score Fluminense-LDU 2-0

[impressivegol]

i dont know guys i really see a lot of goals in this one. Flum are going to be attacking from the getgo, and LDU will be able to counter attack. I think Flum themselves are good for 2-3 goals and Quito could possibly find the net themselves. i think it will be an entertaining game and have gone over 2.5 myself. GL

Yeah modo, it could be...Fluminense is the favourite here but LDU is no "punching bag".

it could be an "over" impressivegol but if you look at LDU's results away from home they don't take many risks and have kept the games very tight up until now. Their Keeper is very good, Defense is OK and midfield is their strongest sector (much better than Fluminense in the defensive processes here).
Let's see how it goes but the under 2.75 at nearly even price looks like a good bet to me.

Yeahp, it didn't go well my friend.

1.lost

Early goals did kill my play and also the fact that Thiago Neves (Fluminense) had a GREAT game scoring all Fluminense's 3 goals only to miss a penalty during the Shoot-out.

Well, I had another GREAT day in the MLB (12-6-0 overall) and we can't win them all.

Yes modo, yesterday was a very important day in the US (I spent almost 3 hours on the phone talking to my dad and my brothers who still live there).
