Colo Colo take on the visitors Internacional in the first leg of the round of last 16 match of Copa Sudamericana. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 29th at Estadio Monumental David Arellano (Santiago de Chile).
Colo-Colo - the flagship of Chilean football, but not at the peak of form. "Leaders" 32 times were the champion of their country - but the last time they succeeded in 2017. True, this spring they managed to show the best result in the Primera, even though they were ahead of Newblense and Union Espanyol only in additional indicators, with the same 29 points scored after 15 rounds. Colo-Colo also performed quite successfully in international tournaments, with a peak in the form of a victory in the Cope Libertadores in 1991. This time in that tournament, the “Leaders” did not look the best. Having lost in the last round at home to Fortaleza, they lost the 2nd final place in the quartet to the Brazilians and will now play in the Cope Libertadores.

Internacional looks good this season. The Colorados are a fairly popular club that have won just about every trophy possible. True, quite a long time ago, moreover, 2017 had to be spent in Serie B at all. Yes, and in the last championship they managed to take only 12th place. Against this background, now the wards of Mano Menezes were able to improve. They are behind a couple of the main leaders Brasileirao, Palmeiras and Corinthians, but they are quite claiming a position in the top five, or even three, of the best. In addition, the Brazilians were able to perform well in the Copa Sudamericana. There they did not lose a single match, playing three times for a win and a draw. This was enough to win the group, and, accordingly, go to the playoffs of the tournament. But now, of course, the level of opponents will increase, and very significantly.
It seems that Colo-Colo is a frequenter of international tournaments, including the Copa Libertadores, and Internacional is not a newcomer of this level. But this will be the first confrontation between Chileans and Brazilians. Colo-Colo, as a team that plays at home, will be considered as the pair's favorite. But Internacional is also not bad, and we recommend limiting the bet to "over 2.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
