What to expect
We expect about 1.3 goals from Recoleta and 1.7 from Cerro Porteño, so Cerro Porteño come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 3.0 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Our pick: Cerro Porteño to win. Cerro Porteño shade this one on the numbers (xG 1.3-1.7), and we make them about 48% to win. They look the better bet on the road, and backing them outright is the straightforward way in.
We put the chance of that landing at about 48 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.86, which works out at about 54 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
One thing to watch
A red card, a penalty or a smash-and-grab is all it takes for Recoleta to spoil this. The price is shorter than our own read of about 48%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
