Palmeiras and Boca Juniors have made it clear that they will fight until the end for their right to be part of the final of this year's Copa Libertadores. It remains to be seen which of the two will succeed in reaching this coveted goal.
In the first semi-final, which ended in a 0-0 draw, Boca Juniors were definitely the stronger team and should have been more disappointed that they couldn't score at least one goal. Now everything starts from scratch. Palmeiras has not been as convincing lately in front of their own fans, and it will be interesting to see if this continues to be the case. Bookmakers are giving a significant advantage to the Brazilian champion, but I suspect that things will not be as easy as they seem.
