Betting tips and odds are provided below.

Rosario's team comes to this game after a 0-1 defeat against America-MG. It would be a one-way match, with total dominance by the America-MG team throughout the entire match. Rosario's team would end the match with an average of 24% ball possession, such was the dominance of the Brazilian team. Despite this dominance, Rosario's team was comfortable defending and allowed few scoring opportunities. It would be towards the end of the match that America's team would actually manage to reach the goal, in the 87th minute, without Rosario's team being able to react. With this result, the Rosario team is in 3rd place in the table, with 4 points. In the 4 Libertadores games, the team recorded 1 win, 1 draw, and 2 defeats, having a record of 3 goals scored and 4 conceded. In case of victory, the team already guarantees qualification at least for Sudamericana, while still leaving the possibility of reaching 2nd place open for the last round.

The Caracas team comes into this game after a disappointing 0-1 defeat against Penarol. It would be a match of two distinct halves. In the 1st half, the Penarol team would come out stronger and more dominant, having more opportunities to score, and in one of those opportunities they would even end up scoring, already in the 26th minute. In the 2nd half, it would be the opposite, with dominance going to the Caracas team, in search of the equalizer. However, the team would fail a lot when finishing and would not be able to reach a draw. With this result, the Caracas team is in 4th place in the table, with just 1 point. In the 4 Libertadores games, the team recorded 1 draw and 3 defeats, having a record of 2 goals scored and 1 conceded. In case of defeat, the team loses any chance of reaching 3rd place and will qualify for the Sudamericana.

There’s just one game between both teams, in the first match of the first round of Libertadores 2024, that ended in a 1-1 draw. Caracas really needs to win to still get 3rd place, as Rosario a draw is enough. Rosario is not expected to lose this match.
