Talleres Cordoba take on the visitors Colon Santa Fe in the first leg of the round of last 16 match of Copa Libertadores. The match will be played on Thursday, June 30th at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes (Cordoba).
Alerez looks a lot less confident this season than in previous one. "Matadors" in 2021 finished the draw in 3rd place. The representative of Cordoba finished in the Primera higher than this only once, back in 1977. Against this background, the results of Copa Diego Maradona this spring were a failure: only 11 points in 14 matches. Only 2 outsiders had even weaker results there! The club had a hard start in the Liga Profesional, and even in the Cup, the most modest Chaco For Ever passed only on penalties. But in the Cope Libertadores, Talleres confidently made it to the playoffs, collecting a comfortable 11 points.

Colon Santa Fe this season mostly upset the fans than pleases them. "Los Sabaleros" in the last draw were able to take 7th place in the final standings of the Liga. That was enough to start the Cope Libertadores. There was a very even group, where everyone had a chance to go to the next round - and the risk of elemination remained until the last. As a result, it was the Argentines who came to the finish line first, gaining 10 points. To understand the level of intrigue: the 4th team of the group, Peñarol, ended up with 7 points. In the domestic arena, Colon are less successful. The winner of the last edition of Copa Diego Maradona, this spring the club scored 16 points in 14 matches there and did not reach the playoffs at all. In the Liga Profesional, the results are also mediocre, and the representative of Santa Fe has already managed to fly out of the cup, losing to Patronato on penalties a week ago after 1-1 in regular and stoppage time.
Talleres had 4 wins in head-to-heads in a row. But then Colon in the 1/4 finals of last year's Copa Diego Maradona knocked out this opponent on penalties. And then he minimally defeated them in the fall and in the Liga. Talleres is given the advantage as a club that plays at home. Colon was somehow completely blown away, so the bet on the hosts looks like a passing bet with a handicap of "0".
Prediction for the match: Talleres Cordoba to win with 0.0 handicap.
