Deportes Temuco (Chile) vs San Lorenzo (Argentina)

Deportes Temuco made history by beating San Lorenzo 2-1 away three weeks ago, but CONMEBOL awarded them a 3-0 loss as the team used midfielder Jonathan Requena, who had been registered by Defensa y Justicia for this tournament’s first stage. In the league, Temuco is taking a little breather in their relegation struggle as they reached seven games without defeat after a 1-1 draw at Palestino last Saturday. As a result, they opened a six-point gap over San Luis, who are occupying the final drop spot. El Albiverde is also on four home matches unbeaten (two victories, two draws).

San Lorenzo needs to take advantage of CONMEBOL’s ruling after a highly disappointing performance in their home leg when they lost 2-1 to Deportes Temuco after taking the first lead thanks to Nicolas Blandi’s strike. Last Friday, Claudio Biaggio’s men came from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw at Tigre in the league season opener, even though they played below expectations. El Ciclon is on five winless games on away turf since beating Independiente 1-0 in April, with four draws and one loss.

Mood at Chile is not good at all after they were stripped by CONMEBOL of their historic win at Argentina and the environment will be quite hostile for the guests.
With nothing to lose and the hosts needing to win by 3 goals, I expect an open game here which makes the short goal lines very tempting to bet.

BET: OVER 2 @ 1.83
