THE PLAY: 1H Palmeiras -0.75 (-128)
Palmeiras vs Sporting Cristal
Copa Libertadores, Thursday, 6pm ET
Play: 1H Palmeiras -0.75
Odds at Time of Release: -128
Line Parameter: Line good to -135, otherwise take 2% on 1H Palmeiras -1
Palmeiras are in need of a win here as they drew their first match on the road and are now hosting Sporting Cristal, who won in match day 1 and are sitting at the top of the group.
Massive gap in quality here, and Palmeiras had two key players OUT on the weekend, but they are both back and they can definitely tear this team to shreds.
Palmeiras were winning in half time in 6 of L/8 matches in all competitions and regardless of venue, and also in 10 of L/13. They were also winning at half time in each of L/7 at home, and in 10 of 12 home matches in all competitions.
Also, Palmeiras thrashed Sporting Cristal by 6-0 in this venue last season, and were up 3-0 at half time, but it must be said that they were a bit stronger last season.
Sporting Cristal were losing at half time in 3 of L/5 regardless of venue and competition, and they traditionally suffer against teams from Brazil (W5 D4 L21) regardless of venue, and even more so on Brazilian soil (W0 D1 L14), with a W0 D0 L4 in L/5 years and losing at half time in 3 of 4.
Palmeiras have a W18 D2 L2 record against clubs from Peru, and W9 D1 L1 at home, and in the last 5 years they've hosted a Peruvian side three times, winning by 6-0, 6-0, and a goal-less draw against Universitario last season, but that was in the second leg of the Round of 16 AFTER they had won the first leg by 4-0 on the road, so take that with a grain of salt.
Palmeiras have the quality and the home advantage to be winning by at least one goal at half time.
Take 2% on 1H Palmeiras -0.75 (-128), line good to -135, that's a split line between 1H Palmeiras -0.5 and 1H Palmeiras -1

Consultant Bio
Pavlos betting on European sports when he was in High School, back when most people his age didn't even know how to bet. After acquiring a Bachelor's Degree in International Economic Relationships and development from the Democritus University in Greece, Pavlos took a different path.
Things really took off for him in 2014 when he officially started writing predictions for US-based sites. Things picked up pretty quickly, and he has produced thousands upon thousands of match previous and predictions. He tends to venture off the beaten path, looking for hidden gems in a myriad of games you can bet on.
Single and double bets aside, Pavlos likes to play the odds as well. While some days there are safe single bets, there are other days that provide opportunities for different bets. Bets like Correct Scores, amount of Yellow Cards, Half-Time/Full-Time results, and all kinds of prop bets. Pavlos covers the following leagues: Major League Soccer (MLS), Copa America, EURO Cup, English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, French Ligue 1, Champions League, and Europa League.
The betting systems he created have seen some massive pay-outs over the years. A couple of correct scores paired together can potentially save your entire season. These are small-stake bets that cost a few units but could bring massive returns on your investment.
