Penarol vs Sporting Cristal Betting Tips & Predictions

Peñarol are out of the competition after a poor run of results but will hope they can at least give their fans something to cheer with a home win in their final game.

Sporting Cristal start this match in 3^rd place, 3 points and 5 goals behind 2^nd placed Huracán meaning they need will need to win this match by several goals and for Huracán to lose their match against Atletico to stand a chance of qualifying.

Peñarol have only managed to score one goal all competition, against Sporting Cristal, who have conceded the most goals in the group. For that reason both teams to score looks like a good bet, especially with Sporting Cristal needing to win in order to progress which might make them more vulnerable at the back as they press forward in search of goals. Odds for both teams to score are currently 8/15 on Betfair.

Sporting will be desperate for a win here but are in a desperately bad run of form so even against the bottom placed Peñarol they will struggle. The last and only time the two sides have met saw a 1-1 draw and I feel we will see the same scoreline again. Betfair have the odds for a 1-1 draw at 11/2.
