Independiente del Valle vs Corinthians Prediction and Betting Tips | June 7th 2023
Independiente del Valle will host Corinthians at the Estadio Banco Guayaquil on Wednesday in another round of the group stages of the 2023 CONMEBOL Libertadores campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a solid run of results in the Ecuadorian Serie A this season and will be looking to carry that momentum onto the continental stage this week.
They were beaten 1-0 by Liverpool UY last time out, starting the game strongly before a red card to Moises Ramirez saw their opponents pick up all three points.
Independiente sit second in the group table with six points from four games and will be looking to widen that gap this week.
Corinthians, meanwhile, have endured a difficult Brasileiro Serie A campaign so far but remain in contention to advance to the knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores. They held on for a goalless draw against Argentinos Juniors in their last group game and could have no complaints after failing to register a shot on target throughout the game.
The visitors sit third in the table with four points picked up so far. They can leapfrog their midweek opponents with maximum points on Wednesday and will be looking to do just that.
