Last Game: Defensa 1-0 Emelec
Wednesday, August 9 at 1am in Copa Sudamericana

We said: Botafogo 1-0 Defensa y Justicia

Fogo may be the stingiest defensive unit in South America, and we expect their tight marking will frustrate Defensa's top attacking threats, allowing them to find that opening which they tend to capitalise on at home. The Brazilians could be missing their top goalscorer in Tiquinho Soares for this match, but Lage is a resourceful manager who we believe will find a solution. Read more.
