Independiente lost 2:0 in the first game and now looks to erase this 2-goal deficit against relegation-threatened on domestic stage Atletico. In South American tournaments the home soil is very important, so Inde will rely on their frantic crowd in order to succeed here. In Colombian Primera A, the team is on the first place, so everything is going fine. Influental midfielders Perez and Gonzalez should drive the team forward, but Independiente chances are boosted by the Atletico`s team news.
Survival more important
A colleague of mine (local Bulgarian) have just saw that Atletico`s coach Dorival Junior have stated that the return leg in Colombia is less important that the relegation fight, that`s why he named a 14-man squad list for the trip. We see the names of a backup players, as the stars Tardelli, Carvalho, Obina, Diego Souza, Ricardinho, Diego Souza, Rever, Werley and Fabio Costa are not with the team. Coach Dorival also won`t travel, as he will stay at Mineiro to prepare the regulars for the important domestic fights.
Odds have dropped, but there`s still valuable odds
Odds have dropped drastically in the past hours, but there`s still value in some bookies. Independiente have huge chances of winning this match and against a frantic home crowd they should do it. Betting on some handicaps is an option, as Inde have to overturn a 2-goal deficit.
