Caracas lost 1:3 to Atletico Mineiro in their last match of the group stage of the tournament and no longer have chances to advance. However, the team managed to score in each of their previous five matches in the competition - a sign that their attack continues to function, even when the results are not in their favor. At home, the Venezuelans ended in a draw in their previous two home matches of the tournament, but are now on a streak of six winless matches at home in all competitions.
Weak results for IquiqueThe guests from Deportes Iquique also dropped out of the tournament after a 0:4 loss in their visit to Sienciano. This was the fourth consecutive defeat for the Chilean team, which is on a streak of ten winless matches away from home. Despite the unsuccessful results, Iquique scored eight goals in their last six matches - evidence that their attack can create problems even in difficult moments.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goalsSince both teams have nothing to lose, I expect an open match without much tension. Considering their performances so far, over 2.5 goals seems like a justified choice.
