: The match is International vs Velez Sarsfield!

Stadium: José Pinheiro Borda (Beira-Rio)

Referee: Jorge Larrionda (Uruguay)

International (Brasil)

A fair Libertadores Cup, last defeat in home of Velez by 3-0 was the worst that could happen to a team, that open with a defeat against Nacional, and go back in trak against Emelec, but the defeat against Velez brings a lot of doubts to the team. Which seems far from last Libertadores cup performance. The team is near the bottom table teams as is one point ahead, then from frist place where he is four points. The team have Nacional team above them by a place and if the group stage finish today, the team will be eliminated.

In their onlk home game the team won against emelec, but they need to show their power in this match to be a contentand for the next stage of the tournament, because if they are unabte to win, they will gave Nacional a great chance to separate four points from there, still Emelec victory against Nacional last match have tighten the group and mantains International chances live.

In local tournament the team won 0-1 to Guarany Bage, in a match that bring the team to third position with 22 points in 14 matches, the bad news is that they have one more match played that the first and second team, still have one less match played that fourth place. The tournament have just two matches left for them and they are not far from first place, but on that third place the team could advance to the third phase of the tournament. Still the media will not forgive a defeat in Libertadores Cup and they need to regain the level that take them to win Libertados Cup and FIFA Club World Cup last year.

Velez Sarsfield (Argentina)

The team have make a very good Libertadores Cup to this moment, the team is unbeaten and near the qualification, if the team is able to win this tought match the team will secure qualification to the next stage and near securing first place of the group.

If something have show coach Lavolpe with the playing style of the team is that their main concern first is the defense, acting according to his football idea the same one he implement with Mexico National Team, just one goal allow in three matches and that goal was on home against Nacional.

In local tournament the team draw 1-1 in home against Colon which is on the bottom part of the table, result that doesn't help the team very much but brings the team to the eight position with 11 points in seven matches and 8 from first place San Lorenzo.

The good news for the team is the return of MF Maximiliano Bustos, which recover from and injury. And FW Lucas Castroman, almost Velez best player which is recovergin from an injury and will go from the start of the match.

Prediction

For O/U the match have an under mark as Velez have shown good defense, and International have done so until last match where they receive three precisely from Velez, and is because that reason and also that is International almost last chance to mantain on the fight and depend on their own, that I under 3 instead of under 2.5.
