The second legs of semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores are ahead of us this mid-week, so let's take a closer look at the matchups and what are the best betting tips for these duels.
The best Copa Libertadores semi-finals tips
After the first two knockout stages of Copa Libertadores, three Brazilian teams and one Ecuadorian team remain in the competition. So, we could see another all-Brazilian final like the last year when Palmeiras and Santos competed for the title. The defending champions Palmeiras are still in the competition, so we could see them lifting the trophy for the second time in two seasons.

The first legs of the semi finals were played on the 22nd and 23rd of September – Palmeiras drew without goals with Atletico Mineiro, while Flamengo beat Barcelona 2-0. The second legs are scheduled for the 29th and 30th of September. With that in mind, let's take a look at the matchups and our favourite betting predictions for the semi-finals:
- Atletico Mineiro vs Palmeiras: Atletico Mineiro to Win @ 19/20
- Barcelona vs Flamengo: Both Teams to Score – Yes @ 7/10
Atletico Mineiro vs Palmeiras
Prediction: Atletico Mineiro to Win
Odds: 19/20
Date: 29/09/2021
After the first match between these two teams ended in a scoreless draw, which we expected and predicted, we feel that Atletico Mineiro has a better chance of winning the rematch and reaching the final. After all, the last two duels between these teams in which Atletico Mineiro was the host both ended in 2-0 wins for Atletico. Also, Atletico Mineiro has been fantastic this season and they are currently eight points ahead of Palmeiras in the Serie A standings.
Barcelona vs Flamengo
Prediction: Both Teams to Score – Yes
Odds: 7/10
Date: 30/09/2021
While we didn't see goals on both sides in the first leg of this matchup, we expect both teams to score in the rematch. The reason is simple – Barcelona has to chase the deficit of two goals in this game, so they will have to play offensively from the start. We think that they can score, but that will also leave a lot of room for Flamengo to score as well and they are too good of a team not to take advantage of this chance.
