Racing Club vs Colo Colo Prediction and Betting Tips

Racing are at the top of the Group E table with seven points, the same as second-placed Fortaleza. The visitors are at the bottom of the standings and are yet to register a win in the competition.

The hosts met Atlético Bucaramanga in their previous Libertadores outing last week and registered a comfortable 4-0 away win. Adrián Martínez broke the deadlock in the fourth minute while Santiago Solari, Santiago Sosa, and Martín Barrios added goals in the second half.

They failed to continue their winning run in the Argentine Primera División, and they suffered a 1-0 home loss to Platense, failing to score for the first time since March.

Los Albos met Fortaleza in the Libertadores last week and suffered a 4-0 away loss. Their poor form continued in the group stage of the Copa Chile on Saturday, and they lost 4-1 away to Deportes Limache.
