Expert Betting Tips
Deportivo is winless in four games and has only won one of their past ten games in all competitions. This season, they have lost both of their home Copa Libertadores games, and they will try to win. Independiente, on the other hand, has gone two games without a win and has been on the radar, surrendering nine goals. They, like their hosts, are in poor form and may have to settle for a point here.
