Junior vs Palmeiras Prediction & Tips
At dawn next Friday, Junior Barranquilla (COL) will host Palmeiras (BRA) in a Group 8 match of the opening day of the group stage of the 2018 Copa Libertadores, scheduled for 00h30 (Portuguese time). This group also has the fearsome Boca Juniors (Argentinean champion last season) and Alianza Lima (Peru), the team’s theoretically weaker team. Argentines and Brazilians are the main favorites to pass the group. Junior Barranquilla had to pass the preliminary phase to reach the groups, won the Olympia (PAR) for a total of 3-2 and eliminated the Guananí (PAR) with difficulty by the minimum margin. Palmeiras ensured their direct presence in the group stage with second place in the Brasileirão last season.
The quality difference between the teams.
Junior Barranquilla did not start well the season, occupying the 13th place in the Colombian Championship.
Palmeiras only lost 1 of the 9 games that made this season in the Paulista Championship.
A tie would not be a bad result for Junior Barranquilla, theoretically weaker than his opponent.
We expect a very fierce match but we do not believe that the men of the house have arguments to beat the Brazilians. Bet Palmeiras do not miss this match!
