Guarani vs. Botafogo (Wednesday, 11.00pm)
Needing a win to advance beyond the last 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, Guarani will host Botafogo in the return leg on Wednesday from Estadio Defensores del Chaco.
In the opening match between these two sides, Fogo rallied from a goal down at half-time to capture a 2-1 triumph as the Brazilians remain unbeaten in this competition.
We say: Guarani 1-2 Botafogo (Botafogo win 4-2 on aggregate)
Their form domestically has dropped a little of late, but Fogo have reacted well when faced with a setback, while managing to salvage their share of results, and the Guarani defensive issues of late have us leaning towards the Brazilians advancing.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Goias vs. Estudiantes (Wednesday, 11.00pm)
Goias will enter the second leg of their round of 16 clash at the Copa Sudamericana in a big hole, as they welcome Estudiantes to Estadio Serra Dourada on Wednesday.
The Brazilians suffered their first defeat of the competition in the opening leg, losing 3-0 to Los Pincharratas, who remain unbeaten at home in the 2023 tournament.
We say: Goias 1-1 Estudiantes (Estudiantes win 4-1 on aggregate)
To score three goals against a side as disciplined and organised as Estudiantes have been throughout this competition is a big ask of any side, and we have a hard time believing Goias, who are tied for the third-fewest goals scored in the Brazilian top-flight this season (17), could find a way to unlock that defence on multiple occasions.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
