Copa Libertadores, 6th round, group stage (Group D), 29.05.2024. Atlético Junior faces off against Botafogo.
In the regular championship, they have some minor issues, but in the Cup, they are playing quite steadily and share the top spot in the group with Botafogo. Likely, there won't be a battle for victory here, as a draw suits both teams (the gap from the third place allows it). The team hasn't been particularly prolific recently, averaging 0.9 goals per match.
The visitors look solid in their domestic league and are also not lagging behind in the Cup. In their last ten matches, they have only lost to Bahia Salvador 1:2 but generally, they dominate their opponents confidently. Playing away will be tough, but they will likely seek revenge for the recent defeat.
In their entire history, the teams have met once, with Atlético Junior winning 3:1.
I'd go for: Both teams to score – yes. The hosts should find a moment on their ground, and Botafogo is already scoring enough. For riskier bets: a draw (1:1, 2:2, something along those lines).
