Contents
Defensa y Justicia to Win
Penarol doesn't have a chance of securing one of the top two positions for the knockout stage of Copa Sudamericana thus the last couple of group matches will have no meaning for the Uruguayan team. On the other side, Defensa y Justicia has won three matches in a row, and they have already secured their place in the next round, but the goal is to finish first in the group and for that to happen they need to defeat Penarol once again. Concerning this Penarol vs Defensa y Justicia prediction, the first match in the group between these teams ended with a 4-1 win for the Argentine club.
Over 2.5 Goals
Penarol had three out of four games in the group stage that went over the 2.5 goals mark including the first match against Defensa y Justicia which ended with five total goals. The Uruguay side can't wait for this nightmare of competition to end, so they can focus on their domestic league. Defensa y Justicia had all four matches go over the two-and-a-half goals mark with two out of four matches closing out at five goals. With Penarol having no motivation for the remaining two games of the competition, we might see another high-scoring match.
