THE PREDICTION

Whilst Independiente Valle cruised through the Copa Sudamericana semi-finals by an aggregate score of 5-1 against Deportivo Tachira, Melgar overcame Internacional via a penalty shoot-out after consecutive goalless draws. With Melgar away from home in this first-leg, you would expect them to prioritise defensive stability and a solid set-up which served them so well in the quarter-finals. With that in mind, Independiente Valle could prove frustrated at times going forward, but cannot afford to take any unnecessary risks that risk them being caught out at the other end of the pitch. Therefore, expect another low-scoring encounter with under 2.5 goals scored over 90 minutes.
