Brazil vs. Argentina, in the final of the Copa Libertadores

Since 2019 there has not been a final between two clubs from different countries in the Copa Conmebol Libertadores. This demonstrates the dominance of Brazilian football over the rest of the region when it comes to club competitions. But it is also an indication of the lack of category or the bad luck that clubs from other countries had to reach that level.

However, this situation has been reversed this year, as Boca Juniors once again reaches the final of the most important club competition in Latin America as a representative of Argentina. In 2019, another Argentine club, River Plate, had also reached the Libertadores final, but they lost the lead in just 5 minutes, towards the end of the match, against Flamengo.

The date on which this final will be played is November 4, and the stadium in which it will be played is the Maracaná, in Brazil, where Fluminense will practically be home.

What are the odds for this match?

This time, Boca wants to win its seventh title, while Fluminense wants to win the Libertadores for the first time. Regarding the odds that can be found on each sports betting page , the favorite is Tri.

El Tri's victory in the 90 minutes pays a fee of 1.95. For its part, a victory for Xeneize pays 4.20. And the tie in the 90 minutes pays 3.10.

In what conditions do both teams arrive to play this match?

Fluminense is the big favorite in this series, because they have a very high-class squad, in which the cup scorer, Germán Cano, stands out, above all. In addition, the venue where the match will be played also makes a considerable difference, since the Brazilians will be local and will have greater comfort facing Boca.

For its part, Boca has just gone through all the matches in the qualifying series on penalties, without having won a single one, something never seen before in history. This is a precedent that could indicate that this team is going to try to reach penalties again in the final, where goalkeeper “Chiquito” Romero could once again be the star.

However, it is important to keep in mind that this match will have overtime, so Xeneize will not have such an easy time against Fluminense. As well as the wear and tear that playing on a court they are not used to could cause for Argentines, it could be another factor against them.

Considering all this and putting logic aside, it is also very important to remember that in football anything can happen, and the favorite has often lost in surprising ways. Therefore, the expectations generated by this match are very high, since anything could happen.
