Barcelona Guayaquil - Form Analysis: Unable to Impress
The "Idols of the Wharf" have been pushed out of the leading positions even in their home country, Ecuador, having not won the championship since 2020. They are currently not leading in the domestic league either. In the Copa, the team has yet to secure a win but has managed draws against all their opponents: Cobreloa and São Paulo away and Talleres at home, which is enough to keep them in second place.
Cobreloa - Form Analysis: Everything is Falling Apart
The "Immortals" were the runners-up in Chile last season. However, their victories in the domestic league this season can be counted on one hand. Their performance in the Copa Libertadores has been even more dismal. After a 1-1 draw with Barcelona, they have only faced defeats, although these matches were against top-tier teams from Brazil and Argentina.

While the Chileans are in poor form, it's also uncertain if the hosts, who have not been particularly impressive either, can justify their status as clear favorites. Therefore, a bet on the visitors with a +1 goal handicap seems prudent (odds - 1.88).
