Melgar travel to Vasco da Gama to secure second place in Group G of the Copa Sudamericana, which would mean progression to the knockout phase.
Melgar are currently second in the table with seven points and a draw on Tuesday would be enough to progress to the next round. In their last group game, Melgar managed a narrow 1-0 win over Academia Puerto Cabello to climb into second place in Group G.
Vasco da Gama, on the other hand, suffered two defeats in a row in the Copa Sudamericana - against Academia Puerto Cabello and Lanus - which severely hampered their chances of progressing to the knockout phase.
Vasco da Gama - FBC Melgar Betting Tips: Both Teams to Score
Vasco da Gama must win their final game in Copa Sudamericana Group G if they are to progress to the knockout phase of the competition. The home side are currently two points behind second-placed Melgar and must win on Tuesday, but such a result is by no means guaranteed. The first meeting between the two teams ended in a high-scoring 3-3 draw. With Melgar unbeaten in their last four games, we fancy both teams to score in their final Group G match.
Vasco da Gama team news
Hugo Moura was sent off in the last game against Lanus and will not feature. Pablo Vegetti has already netted 3 times this Copa Sudamericana season.
