Deportivo Tachira take on the visitors Independiente del Valle in the first leg of Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 3rd at Estadio Polideportivo de Pueblo Nuevo (San Cristóbal).
Deportivo Tachira are holding up well. The “Yellow-black carousel” last year was able to take the 9th championship in history. And now the team keeps at the level of the national Liga in the group of leaders. But in the Cope Libertadores, the Venezuelans failed to make it to the playoffs. On the other hand, they still took 3rd place in their group. And then they created one of the sensations of the stage of the 1/8 finals of the Copa Sudamericana. Both legs ended in a 1-1 draw with the stellar but inconsistent Santos. But, most importantly, in the penalty shootout it turned out to knock out the status Brazilians.

Independiente del Valle has been doing well in the international arena lately. The "Black and Blue" only last year became the champion of Ecuador, and this happened for the first time in history, in more than 60 years. But at the same time, many have already learned about this club due to achievements in the South American arena. First there was a sensational advancement to the final of the Copa Libertadores. And after 3 years, Independiente del Valle became the winner in the Copa Sudamericana. In the current draw, the Ecuadorians in the main continental tournament finished the fight in the group stage in 3rd place in their quartet. After that, having taken off to the Copa Sudamericana, they faced Lanus in the 1/8 finals. At home, it was possible to beat the Argentines with a goal by Iovi in the 93rd minute, after which it was quite enough on the road to keep a goalless draw.
Both Deportivo Tachira and Independiente del Valle have just begun to make serious progress. So do not be surprised that this fight will be only the 1st in history - before they did not intersect with each other even at a friendly level. Judging by the odds, experts tend to wait for the success of more experienced visitors. But everything will be decided in the second leg, but for now it’s worth taking the pragmatic “under 2.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
