THE PREDICTION
A narrow 1-0 triumph for Velez Sarsfield in the first leg sees all the pressure on Barcelona as the two sides face off at Estadio Monumental Banco Pichincha for the second leg. At some stage the hosts will have to throw caution to the wind and deploy an ultra-attacking mindset, knowing that they need to goal to give themselves a chance of qualification. Whilst Barcelona certainly have the attacking tools to do that, Velez Sarsfield will know that they can exploit any space in behind their opponents. When taking this into account, both teams to score is worth considering and may prove the shrewd play in a fixture that could go either way.
