Melgar vs Colo Colo Betting Tips & Predictions

Melgar’s debut campaign in Copa Libertadores has not been a happy one for the Peruvian side, having lost all 4 games so far. They started with a 1-2 defeat at home to Atletico Mineiro, before the 1-0 defeat away from home against Colo Colo, a 65th minute goal from veteran striker Esteban Paredes separating the sides.

They had no further luck when they hosted Ecuadorian side Independiente del Valle losing 1-0. Their losing streak continued when they travelled to Ecuador the following week and were beaten 2-0.

Meaning it is now impossible for them to qualify for the next round of the competition, but they will still be playing for pride in this game.

Colo Colo need a win here to keep their qualification hopes alive. They started this years group campaign with a 1-1 draw away in Ecuador to Independiente, before their victory over Melgar. Their last two games saw them take on Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro, claiming a 0-0 draw at home, before losing 3-0 when they played them away the following week.

Both teams have struggled for a win in recent weeks, it has been 11 games since Melgar won, and 5 since Colo Colo got their last taste of victory. Both have struggled for form and for goals, so looks to be a scrappy match, where a goal at most will decide it. Get under 2.5 goals at 3/4 with bet365.
