THE PREDICTION

The home team are assured of a second placed finish and no higher as they qualify for the knockouts of the Libertadores following a 4-3 away win against group winners Palmeiras. This continental run has followed a disappointing domestic season for Bielsa and Sampaoli ‘disciple’ Sebastian Beccacece. They come up against an Independiente del Valle side that have a good chance of finishing third and qualifying for the Sudamericana. A result may be difficult to call but both of these sides’ five group matches have averaged at more than three goals per game so goals are a likely outcome of this final group match.
