00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:04.519
Welcome Bien Venidas Ben Bingdon to the Soccer Metrics Copa
2
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:09.679
Libertadora Show, part of the SDH network, the only English
3
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:13.519
language show to vote to South America's premier club competition.
4
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.120
I'm your host, Howard Hamilton, the founder of soccer Metrics.
5
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.000
This week is moving week, match day four of the
6
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:26.079
Copa Liberta Doores. If you don't have enough points, it's
7
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.719
time to get a move on. If you don't have
8
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:32.439
any points, you don't have any options. You have to win.
9
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.079
A few clubs can confirm their place in the last
10
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:40.479
sixteen if results fall their way, but for everyone else,
11
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:45.079
it's all about positioning themselves for the final pair of matches.
12
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.840
In this episode, I'll previewing cars that make up match
13
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:55.039
day four of this Liberta Doors group stage. This episode
14
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.920
is a little bit late. There are actually four matches
15
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:02.880
being played as I record this podcast, but I've remained
16
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:10.120
hermetically sealed, So these previews of this week's matches convey
17
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:15.920
my opinion upon seeing the match day fixtures, and they'll
18
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.799
start talking about permutations for some of the groups now.
19
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.599
Match Day four involves seed number three hosting CED two
20
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.000
and the fourth seed hosting the top seed of the group.
21
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.560
This is the reverse of the matches that occurred in
22
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.480
match day two. The earth thing to point out it's
23
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.239
the last home match for the number four seed and
24
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.519
that will have some implications in a number of the
25
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:49.079
groups this week. Let's start in Group A with the
26
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:54.040
match between Cusco and the Stuanta se La Plata. Sojandas
27
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.879
can eliminate Cusco with a win and the home team
28
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.439
are going to be looking to press the advent at
29
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:08.319
altitude in Peru. Meanwhile, Independente Madyin host defending champions Flamingo
30
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.960
Flamengo can clinch the last sixteen with an away win.
31
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:19.120
Group B is probably the tightest group in all of
32
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:24.400
the Cope La Bertadores. All four teams are on four points,
33
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.080
so both of these matches are going to be critical
34
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:32.159
to determining which two teams advance to the final sixteen.
35
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.080
The first match will be the first of our featured
36
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:41.719
matches of this match day between Coquimbo Undo and Universitario.
37
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:48.159
Koquimbo beat Universitario away in the reverse fixture, but Las
38
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.840
Cremes are coming off a historic four gold night last
39
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:57.919
week versus Nacional. The other match sees that Portislima hosting nacienl.
40
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.919
This is a must win match for Talma, who are
41
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.360
out of home matches after this match day. Naciona will
42
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.439
be without the services of Lucas Rodriguez, who received a
43
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:15.199
red card last week. In Group C, Dipperty with Laguira
44
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.479
hosts Believar in the must win match for both. This
45
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.159
is the first of two away matches for Believar and
46
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.000
in theory, this match is the easier of the two
47
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:32.159
games that they have, but as I've mentioned multiple times,
48
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.039
Dipperty with Laguira and venezuel And clubs in general have
49
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:41.439
been more competitive in this version of the Copolabertadors than before.
50
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.280
The other match sees the second of our featured matches
51
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:54.479
of the week between Independente Rivedavia and Fluminense. This match
52
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.319
features two teams at the top of the domestic tables
53
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:05.360
in the Pendentta. Vidalvia are top overall in Argentina, Fleminenci
54
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.879
are currently third in the Brazil Laurel and this is
55
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:13.199
a must win match for both. While Independente Rivdalvia have
56
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.040
been riding high they have a perfect record in the
57
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.879
group stage, Fleminensee are on one point in fact, Independenda
58
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.160
Vedavia one in Rio. As I mentioned, this is a
59
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.000
must win match for both teams, especially for Fluminensee because
60
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.120
they only have one point, but for river Davia this
61
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.000
is their last home match of the group stage and
62
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:47.439
home home form is important. Home form is paramount if
63
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.759
a especially if a number four seed is not able
64
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.879
to rack up as many points as possible, it gets
65
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.800
really difficult in the final two match days to accumulate
66
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:03.040
additional points, and we saw that happen to Central Cordeba
67
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:10.240
last year. Now, if Independiente, Levedavia and believe Our win
68
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.120
their respective matches, Fluminenze must beat Believar by at least
69
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.920
two goals to have any chance of advancing to the
70
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.360
final sixteen, and that's an outcome that was definitely not
71
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:30.199
expected when this group was announced last month. Group DCS
72
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:35.319
a three way tie on six points between OBErs of Katolica,
73
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:42.800
Cruzero and Boca Juniors. Katolka and Cruzero meet in Santiago
74
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:48.839
this week, Katoka having won in Bella Horizonci in the
75
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:52.399
reverse fixture, and the home win puts them on the
76
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:57.519
brink of advancing to the last sixteen. In Guya, Kiel
77
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.959
Barcelona meet Boka in a match that they absolutely must
78
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:07.199
win at home. Barcelona in fact, have not won any
79
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:11.680
home matches this campaign. The only match that they didn't
80
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:16.360
lose was a one all draw versus Botafogo in the
81
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:24.160
third preliminary round. In Group E, crnchings are not only perfect,
82
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.480
they haven't allowed the goal so far in the group stage,
83
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.519
and if they win at Independente Santa Fe, they clinch
84
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:37.920
a top two place. The other fixture sees Platensee hosting
85
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.199
pennyer Rol. This has been a nightmare campaign from the
86
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.759
top seed. They're one less on the road, they lost
87
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.480
this home fixture versus Platensee and they're dealing with the
88
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.720
loss of Leo Fernandez, who is out due to an
89
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.800
acial injury. He will be out for the remainder of
90
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:02.759
this s Libertador season. If Corinthians and Pltenze win their
91
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.600
respective matches, they will both advance to the last sixteen.
92
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:14.759
In Group F, Junior sees Junior host Setral Portagno in
93
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.560
a match that Junior need to win in order to
94
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:21.600
stay in the race for a top two place. Meanwhile,
95
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.319
sporring Christal hosts Palmyrez and Sporing will want to finish
96
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.800
the home schedule with a win. Group G is another
97
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:32.920
one of the groups in which there's a three way
98
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:37.399
tie at six points. Always Ready will seek to press
99
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:43.240
their altitude advantage versus Lundews, while Mira Saul hosts Lea
100
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.040
the Quito and the top of the table clash. This
101
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.079
will be the third of the featured matches of this
102
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:56.720
match day. Mirasaraquerre want to leave this match with anything
103
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.720
other than one nil result. A one nill result introduces
104
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:06.480
all sorts of tie breakers currently favoring Mirosol, but the
105
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.160
group will be on knife edge with that kind result.
106
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.399
There will want a multi goal margin coming out of
107
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.480
this game. Following in Group eight. Following Group H, we
108
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.240
see that Rosario Central and Independente del Vai lead the
109
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.720
group on seven points and they're not playing each other.
110
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:32.600
But Rosario Central hosting libertad Or University Dodd Central hosting
111
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.279
Independiente del Va Central have yet to allow a goal
112
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:42.080
in the group stage, and if Rosario Central and Independiena
113
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:45.960
de v win their respective matches, both teams will advance
114
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.679
to File sixteen, so we could potentially see at least
115
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.919
six or seven teams advance to the last sixteen after
116
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:58.919
match day four. Now a reminder that this week you
117
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:03.399

00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.439
be without the services of Lucas Rodriguez, who received a
43
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:15.199
red card last week. In Group C, Dipperty with Laguira
44
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.479
hosts Believar in the must win match for both. This
45
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.159
is the first of two away matches for Believar and
46
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.000
in theory, this match is the easier of the two
47
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:32.159
games that they have, but as I've mentioned multiple times,
48
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.039
Dipperty with Laguira and venezuel And clubs in general have
49
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:41.439
been more competitive in this version of the Copolabertadors than before.
50
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.280
The other match sees the second of our featured matches
51
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:54.479
of the week between Independente Rivedavia and Fluminense. This match
52
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.319
features two teams at the top of the domestic tables
53
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:05.360
in the Pendentta. Vidalvia are top overall in Argentina, Fleminenci
54
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.879
are currently third in the Brazil Laurel and this is
55
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:13.199
a must win match for both. While Independente Rivdalvia have
56
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.040
been riding high they have a perfect record in the
57
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.879
group stage, Fleminensee are on one point in fact, Independenda
58
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.160
Vedavia one in Rio. As I mentioned, this is a
59
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.000
must win match for both teams, especially for Fluminensee because
60
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.120
they only have one point, but for river Davia this
61
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.000
is their last home match of the group stage and
62
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:47.439
home home form is important. Home form is paramount if
63
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.759
a especially if a number four seed is not able
64
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.879
to rack up as many points as possible, it gets
65
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.800
really difficult in the final two match days to accumulate
66
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:03.040
additional points, and we saw that happen to Central Cordeba
67
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:10.240
last year. Now, if Independiente, Levedavia and believe Our win
68
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.120
their respective matches, Fluminenze must beat Believar by at least
69
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.920
two goals to have any chance of advancing to the
70
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.360
final sixteen, and that's an outcome that was definitely not
71
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:30.199
expected when this group was announced last month. Group DCS
72
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:35.319
a three way tie on six points between OBErs of Katolica,
73
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:42.800
Cruzero and Boca Juniors. Katolka and Cruzero meet in Santiago
74
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:48.839
this week, Katoka having won in Bella Horizonci in the
75
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:52.399
reverse fixture, and the home win puts them on the
76
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:57.519
brink of advancing to the last sixteen. In Guya, Kiel
77
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.959
Barcelona meet Boka in a match that they absolutely must
78
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:07.199
win at home. Barcelona in fact, have not won any
79
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:11.680
home matches this campaign. The only match that they didn't
80
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:16.360
lose was a one all draw versus Botafogo in the
81
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:24.160
third preliminary round. In Group E, crnchings are not only perfect,
82
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.480
they haven't allowed the goal so far in the group stage,
83
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.519
and if they win at Independente Santa Fe, they clinch
84
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:37.920
a top two place. The other fixture sees Platensee hosting
85
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.199
pennyer Rol. This has been a nightmare campaign from the
86
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.759
top seed. They're one less on the road, they lost
87
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.480
this home fixture versus Platensee and they're dealing with the
88
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.720
loss of Leo Fernandez, who is out due to an
89
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.800
acial injury. He will be out for the remainder of
90
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:02.759
this s Libertador season. If Corinthians and Pltenze win their
91
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.600
respective matches, they will both advance to the last sixteen.
92
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:14.759
In Group F, Junior sees Junior host Setral Portagno in
93
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.560
a match that Junior need to win in order to
94
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:21.600
stay in the race for a top two place. Meanwhile,
95
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.319
sporring Christal hosts Palmyrez and Sporing will want to finish
96
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.800
the home schedule with a win. Group G is another
97
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:32.920
one of the groups in which there's a three way
98
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:37.399
tie at six points. Always Ready will seek to press
99
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:43.240
their altitude advantage versus Lundews, while Mira Saul hosts Lea
100
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.040
the Quito and the top of the table clash. This
101
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.079
will be the third of the featured matches of this
102
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:56.720
match day. Mirasaraquerre want to leave this match with anything
103
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.720
other than one nil result. A one nill result introduces
104
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:06.480
all sorts of tie breakers currently favoring Mirosol, but the
105
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.160
group will be on knife edge with that kind result.
106
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.399
There will want a multi goal margin coming out of
107
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.480
this game. Following in Group eight. Following Group H, we
108
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.240
see that Rosario Central and Independente del Vai lead the
109
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.720
group on seven points and they're not playing each other.
110
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:32.600
But Rosario Central hosting libertad Or University Dodd Central hosting
111
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.279
Independiente del Va Central have yet to allow a goal
112
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:42.080
in the group stage, and if Rosario Central and Independiena
113
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:45.960
de v win their respective matches, both teams will advance
114
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.679
to File sixteen, so we could potentially see at least
115
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.919
six or seven teams advance to the last sixteen after
116
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:58.919
match day four. Now a reminder that this week you
