Millonarios vs Universidad Catolica Prediction: Hosts Carrying a Six Game Unbeaten Run at Home

In the upcoming fixture of Copa Libertadores, Second Round Leg 2, Millonarios will take on Universidad Catolica at the Estadio Nemésio Camacho - El Campín in Bogota. Going in the fixture, Millonarios and Universidad Catolica are coming off defeats in their divisional matches. Adding pressure to the overall landscape and position of the two teams, Millonarios will look positive in maximizing the home advantage. What makes Millonarios favorite for tomorrow is its unbeaten run at home in the last 6 matches(4W 2D). 

After securing a draw in the Leg 1 (0-0), Once Caldas lost to Once Caldas (1-0), where Millonarios failed to secure an equalizer after the opposition took the lead in the 11th minute of play. Though Millonarios achieved a possession of 53%, it had just 1 shot on target. Apart from the defeat against Once Caldas, Millonarios secured two in two wins in the opening matches of the Categoria A. Millonarios is likely to reinforce and restructure its lineup under the supervision of Alberto Gamero and move forward in the international contest. Millonarios has scored 7 goals in its last 5 outings, averaging 1.4 goals per game. Hence, the hosts will be confident of securing a lead in the opening half of Leg 2.

Going in the matchup, Universidad Catolica is coming off a thrashing defeat against Tecnico Universitario (4-1), in which Catolica was unable to score a legitimate goal, except for the own goal in the 61th minute of play. However, in the previous leg, Universidad Catolica secured a possession of 53% and had just a single shot on target. For the upcoming home fixture, the visitors will be under realistic pressure as they have a winless record in their last 4 away outings. With only 4 goals scored in the last 5 matches played, Universidad Catolica averages 0.8 goals per game. 

Rafael Romo; Gregori Anangonó, Tomás Oneto, Anderson Ordóñez, Layan Loor Riquelme; Kevin Minda, Daniel Clavijo, Mauro Díaz; Arón Rodríguez, José Carabalí, Cristian Borja.

Going in the matchup, Millonarios will be favorites in front of its fans at home. However, Universidad Catolica will look to disbalance the one-sided odds by giving the home side a tough competition. With the likes of Oneto, Minda, and Guerra in defending spots, Caolica can trick Millonarios. However, I am backing the home side to win in 90 minutes of play and the final scoreline to be 2-0 or 2-1.

• Millonarios to Win for 1.70
• Both Teams to Score - No for 1.66
• Total Under 2.5 for 1.63
