CORINTHIANS - BOCA JUNIORS

Disagree with these odds.

Corinthians is doing well in the Brazilian league, but their performances in the Libertadores have been very poor. Only made one decent performance, the rest were awful against very weak sides like Always Ready or Deportivo Cali.

Just two days ago they had an important and tight game in the league against Santos, where coach Pereira put some starters.

Furthermore, for this match they have some important missings. Key midfielder Victor Cantillo is suspended, while Paulinho and Maycon are injured. Other starters aren’t at 100% physically and are doubtful like Du Queiroz, João Victor, Gil, Gustavo Silva and Renato Augusto.

On the other hand, Boca is one of the best teams in this tournament. Their performances in the Libertadores weren’t amazing either, but they were underperforming too much. Lately improved a lot, winning the Argentinian Cup and with good results in the league.

They have just one important missing: Frank Fabra, who will be replaced by Augstin Sanchez. But two key players are back from suspension in the Libertadores: Rojo and Villa. The Colombian Villa is great news for Boca, as he is the best attacker with 8 goals and 10 assists in the league and he wasn't available in the whole group stage due to suspension.

They played a game in the Argentinian league three days ago, where coach Battaglia put a full team of reserves saying: “The Libertadores is the target” when the press asked for a reason about the rotations.

Guests are a much better side and have more starters available. Should be able to at least avoid defeat.

EMELEC - MINEIRO

A bit risky to bet on the away side in a two-legs round, but Mineiro is several steps above Emelec.

Emelec had a very irregular group stage with very poor rivals (Petrolero, Tachira, Palmeiras) but finally managed to qualify thanks to the goal fest against weak side Petrolero in the last round (who managed to draw in the previous game). They were almost forced to qualify, seeing the level of Tachira and Petrolero, and were close to not doing it.

They have some missings in defense today: Joel Quintero, Aníbal Leguizamón and Gustavo Canto who left the club.

Their last official game was one month ago, so Mineiro will have better fit and preparation.

On the other hand, Mineiro has been an irregular team but they are very dangerous, as they have a lot of quality and experience. Are one of the top Brazilian teams along with others like Palmeiras who beat Emelec in the group stage twice (1:0 and 1:3).

Have great players like Hulk, while they also have few missings like Mathías Zaracho, Mariano and Kano. Played a league game two days ago where the coach put a full team of reserves, in order to be at 100% here.

I see Mineiro as the favorite to qualify here. They have a much better squad, fit and experience. I hope they will be able to take advantage in this first round against a weak team like Emelec. Brazilian teams are several steps above Ecuadorian sides, and it use to be shown in competitions like this one. Especially if we speak about a solid side like Mineiro.

科林蒂安-博卡青年队

不同意这些可能性。

科林蒂安在巴西联赛中表现不错，但他们在解放者队的表现却很差。只有一场表现不错，其余的都很糟糕，面对像“时刻准备”和拉科鲁尼亚这样的弱队。

就在两天前，他们与桑托斯进行了一场重要而激烈的比赛，佩雷拉在比赛中安排了一些首发球员。

此外，对于这场比赛，他们还有一些重要的缺失。核心中场坎蒂略停赛，保利尼奥和梅肯受伤。其他的首发球员并没有达到100%的身体素质，比如杜-奎罗斯，João维克多，吉尔，古斯塔沃-席尔瓦和雷纳托-奥古斯托。

另一方面，博卡是本届杯赛中最好的球队之一。他们在《解放者》中的表现也不惊人，但他们的表现太差了。最近进步了很多，赢得了阿根廷杯，在联赛中也有不错的成绩。

他们只有一个重要的缺阵:弗兰克·法布拉，他将被奥古斯丁·桑切斯取代。但是在解放者队有两名关键球员从停赛中回来了:罗霍和维拉。哥伦比亚的比利亚对博卡来说是个好消息，因为他是联赛中8球10助攻的最佳攻击手，而由于停赛，他无法参加整个小组赛。

三天前，他们在阿根廷联赛踢了一场比赛，当媒体问及轮换原因时，巴塔利亚教练安排了一支完整的预备队，说:“解放者是目标”。

客人是更好的一方，有更多的开胃菜。至少应该能够避免失败。

艾米力克-米内罗

在两回合的比赛中，把赌注押在客场有点冒险，但米内罗比埃梅勒克高出几级。

在小组赛中，埃梅勒克的对手都很糟糕(帕尔梅拉斯、塔奇拉、帕尔梅拉斯)，但由于上一轮对弱队帕尔梅拉罗的进球(后者在上一场比赛中战平)，埃梅勒克最终出线。他们几乎是被迫晋级，看到了塔奇拉和Petrolero的水平，并接近不做它。

他们今天在防守端有一些缺失:乔尔·金特罗，Aníbal Leguizamón和离开俱乐部的古斯塔沃·坎托。

他们的最后一场正式比赛是在一个月前，所以米内罗将会有更好的状态和准备。

另一方面，米内罗是一支不正规的球队，但他们非常危险，因为他们有很多实力和经验。帕尔梅拉斯是巴西最顶尖的球队之一，他们曾两次在小组赛中击败埃梅莱克(1:0和1:3)。

有浩克这样伟大的球员，也有Mathías萨拉乔、马里亚诺和卡诺这样的缺阵。两天前打了一场联赛教练安排了一整队的预备队，以保证全员竞技。

我认为米内罗是晋级的热门人选。他们有一个更好的阵容，健康和经验丰富。我希望他们能在首轮对阵埃梅莱克这样的弱队时占据优势。巴西球队比厄瓜多尔球队高出几个级别，它曾经在这样的比赛中被展示过。尤其是像米内罗这样的强队。
