Colo-Colo v Fortaleza Betting Tips [25 May 2022]

Colo Colo and Fortaleza are tied at seven points in Group F of the Copa Libertadores ahead of their faceoff. Colo Colo from Chile will be the host here, going into the game placed third with an inferior goal difference and they haven’t won any of their last two games so they are seeking to bounce back in this. The big positive they take to this game is their scoring run; in the last 10 games they’ve only failed to score once, in a 4-0 loss to River Plate, the leaders in this group. In eight of their last 10 matches, both sides have scored and it means Colo Colo will have to improve in defence as well. Seven of their last 10 matches have produced over 2.5 goals, and in the Copa Libertadores, none of their opening five games has posted a clean sheet. They have no win in the last three matches in this competition and four of the last five have produced over 2.5 goals.

Just like Colo Colo, Fortaleza will also be looking to bounce back. They are coming from a 1-0 loss to Fluminense in the Brazilian Serie A; their second loss in three games, but in between the losses, they beat Alianza Lima 2-0 in this competition. Fortaleza have two wins and two clan sheets in their last seven matches; they haven’t been very stable themselves. In their opening meeting with Colo Colo, they lost 2-1 at home but they carry to this game a three-game unbeaten run in the Copa Libertadores. In their opening five matches in this competition, Fortaleza have one clean sheet and have failed to score once in those five games. This is their first appearance in this competition and the 1-0 loss to Colo Colo was the first ever meeting between the two sides.

A win for either team here guarantees progression to the next phase of the Copa Libertadores. This is what these two sides will be fighting for. Colo Colo won in the first meeting between these two sides but they find themselves below Fortaleza, which means a draw will be enough for the away team. A battle for three points will be up in this game and by their scoring runs, we will go with both teams scoring.
