Prediction

  • Wednesday night sees a wonderful-looking Copa Libertadores Semi-Final clash between Botafogo and Penarol. The sides last met back in 1993 in the Copa Conmebol, which saw Botafogo overcome the Uruguayans on penalties.
  • Botafogo have not played a Copa Libertadores Semi-Final since 1963. They earned their place in the Semis with a penalty shootout victory over Sao Paulo. They are currently on a 12-match unbeaten run. At the weekend, they were frustrated in a 1-1 draw with Criciuma at home.
  • Penarol's last Semi-Final outing in this competition came back in 2011 and are the first Uruguayan side to reach this stage since 2014. They earned their place in the final by seeing off Flamengo in the last round thanks to a wonderful performance in Rio de Janeiro in the first leg, before a dogged display in Montevideo saw them hold out the Brazilians. They have won their last three matches and at the weekend enjoyed a 2-0 victory over Boston River.
