Prediction published on 29/08/2022, 23:07  by Daniel Ngulu in Copa Libertadores Predictions

Velez Sarsfield is the only remaining non-Brazilian side in the Copa Libertadores and will be hoping to go all the way as they face off with Brazilian giants Flamengo in the semis. The Argentine side hosts the first leg of this semi final and look to rise from a run of four winless matches in their domestic league. The last win for Velez Sarsfield came in the Copa Libertadores, 1-0 away to Talleres de Cordoba and they haven’t managed a clean sheet thereafter. In their last five matches, the hosts have scored more than a goal in just one, but they’ve also conceded more than a goal in one. Both sides have scored in Velez Sarsfield’s last four matches and at home, they have managed just one win in the last six, keeping no clean sheet in that run. In Copa Libertadores, they are unbeaten in the last seven matches, winning five.

Flamengo head into this game on a good run; they are unbeaten in the last 14 matches and they’ve won 12 of them. They have three clean sheets and four wins in their last five matches and though they play away from home here, they will start as favorites, based on recent form. Their away form isn’t bad either – in the last seven they are unbeaten and have only suffered one loss in 10. Flamengo have six straight wins in the Copa Libertadores and are unbeaten in 10 matches in this competition. Three times in their last four Libertadores matches, they’ve managed clean sheets, and three times in five, they’ve scored two or more goals. They are also undefeated in the last five away matches in this competition, scoring two or more goals in four and keeping three clean sheets.
