Cruzeiro (MG) vs Deportivo Lara

The closing match of the Copa Libertadores second group match day presents a group B match where Cruzeiro plays host to host Deportivo Lara in the Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto. This match at the same time recorded history as the first meeting match for both teams, arguably also lucky for Deportivo Lara as a new team in this event but against big club Cruzeiro.

Deportivo Lara just returned in the Copa Libertadores last season, after the last time they joined in 2013. Last season they joined in group 7 but were only able to get 2 wins and 4 losses as a result placing them at the bottom of the standings. Deportivo Lara is powerless to compete with Corinthians and also Independiente. Then on match day first yesterday drew 0-0 against Emelec.

Conversely for Cruzeiro they get a victory in the inaugural match over the host Huracan with a score of 0-1, the only goal of the puppet was printed by Rodriguinho in minute 30. After the results of the win, Cruzeiro continued to record consecutive wins as a result they won in the last 5 matches. The other side hasn’t fallen in the last 14 matches.

With the best conditions like this, it is increasingly convincing that Cruzeiro deserves to get the confidence to win again. Moreover, benefiting from playing at home like this and also against fairly new teams, it seems like Deportivo Lara got a pretty valuable lesson because it was against the Libertadores Cup quarter-final team last season. Most likely Deportivo Lara will be defeated.
