COPA SUDAMERICANA


El Nacional of Ecuador take on Toluca of Mexico tonight, in the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana.

The visitors hold a 1-0 lead from the first leg and will settle for the draw. Obviously the home team, who defended in numbers in Mexico, will have to go for it. The match will be played at the Estadio Olimpico Atahualpa, which is 2.800 metres above sea level and normally a big advantage for the Ecuadorians. However, as Toluca is almost 2,700 metres high, it will make little difference.

I think there will be goals, Nacional will be forced to attack and will leave space. My information is that the Mexicans are stronger and confident of scoring. In qualification, all of Nacional's 4 games were open affairs with plenty of goals. See little downside with the 2.25 option, so suggest we get involved for minor stakes.

3 points over 2.25 goals El Nacional-Toluca asian line 1.70.

Good Luck.
