Velez Sarsfield v Newells Old Boys (Bet 8)

WIN
Copa Libertadores 2nd Leg, 11.15pm.
£20, Newells +0 AH, 2.050

This one is basically quite short and sweet. Velez will have home advantage and that's about all I can give them in their favour. Yes they will be a threat particularly looking to attack Newells on the break, but I simply cannot see Newells going out on a whimper being 1-0 down from the first leg. Speaking of which, let's have a look at that first leg again -


It was quite remarkable. In the entire match, Newells had 20 shots overall, 8 of which were on target, but they just couldn't breach the Velez keeper. They also had more corners and more possession. The draw is covered by the AH, so I think with Newells needing a victory the game will be expansive and they will have to push for goals being 1-0 down, which I reckon they will achieve.
