Only seven matches that can be played on Betscorum today. We got two matches in the Egyptian Premier League, one match in the French Ligue 1, one in the Colombian Liga Aguila and three matches in the Copa Libertadores.
Copa Libertadores
The Copa Libertadores is always an interesting competition. The matches being played today, are very early matches in the qualification phase of the competition.
Danubio represents Uruguay and has not yet played a single match in 2019. Their last competitive match was on 4 November 2018, when they lost away to Nacional Montevideo. Their last win was on 14 October 2018, when they won 3-1 against Torque FC. They would not have won that match if they wouldn't have scored twice in extra time though.
Atlético Mineiro has already played a lot of matches in 2019. The Brazilian league is on Betscorum, but only the Serie A, which is currently not active. At the moment they play the State Championships in Brazil, and Atlético Mineiro plays in the Mineiro 1 League. So far they won 3 of their matches, had 1 draw an 1 loss. For me, Mineiro is the favorite here.

This seems like a very hard to predict match. Both teams are not in the best possible form, and from what I can judge this match can go either way.
The Strongest are from Bolivia, and at the end of December, they showed how strong they were as they won 8-0 against Club Blooming. However, on 26 January, they lost 5-0 against Royal Pari. So far in 2019, The Strongest won twice and lost twice.
Paraguay can be generally seen as a better footballing country than when it comes to Bolivia. However, Libertad Asunción hasn't started 2019 very good either. They won 1 match and lost the other 2 they played so far.
Looking at the above, I would lean towards a draw or an away win, but looking at the odds, the bookmakers really give the advantage to The Strongest. This might simply have to do due to the altitude on which these matches are being played. With the odds on The Strongest being that low, I see value in betting on Libertad.

FBC Melgar vs Universidad de Chile
Another interesting Copa Libertadores match between FBC Melgar and Universidad de Chile. Here the same sort of storyline possible as for the previous match. Melgar is from Peru and did not yet play any matches in 2019. Their last match against Alianza Lima was on 7 December, they drew the match 2-2, but were eliminated from the playoffs. A month earlier, on 6 November their last win was recorded against Unión Comercio.
The competition in Chile hasn't started yet either, but Universidad de Chile has been active in pre-season friendlies. From the 3 matches they played, they won 2.
It is really hard to predict, but also, in this case, I'm leaning towards a draw or an away win.

Egyptian Premier League
This is the match between the two lowest ranked teams in the league at this stage.
The home team Petrojet have a home record of 1 win, 5 draws and, 4 losses in their 10 home matches this season. They also only won once in their last 6 matches in general, recording 5 losses. Petrojet is on a 5-game losing streak in the Egyptian Premier League and on a 2-game losing streak at home.
The away team Wadi Degla FC are doing much better with an away record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses so far this season. That is a pretty good away record, however, they have been struggling in their last 6 matches in which they had only 1 win and 2 draws, alongside 3 losses.
Normally Wadi Degla should have this game in their pockets. Given the fact that Petrojet often seems to be able to get a draw from a match they are supposed to lose, it seems like a bet on X2 seems the right thing to do here, especially because they haven't recorded a draw in their last three matches at home.

ENPPI is currently fighting against relegation with Petrojet and Wadi Degla. El Ahly SC is currently the undisputed third-ranked team in the league.
Home team ENPPI has a home record of 1 win, 4 draws and, 5 losses in their 10 home matches this season. In their last six matches, they only won 7 points, one and four draws. That said, ENPPI has drawn in their last 2 league matches, and they are undefeated in their last 5 league matches, and in their last 3 home matches.
Being in such a high league ranking El Ahly have an away record of 6 wins, one draw and one loss in 8 away matches this season. They lost 5 points in their last six matches, taking 13 points in total. They have won their last 3 matches in general, as well as their last 3 matches on the road.
I can't see anything else but an away win here. El Ahly has proven to be the stronger and more consistent team of the two.

French Ligue 1
These are two teams battling it out somewhere in the middle of the table. Both teams are underperforming in comparison to last season.
At their home ground, Marseille has so far recorded an advantage winning 5 of their 10 matches so far. They also had 3 draws and 2 losses. Their recent form, however, has been a bit shaky, with just 1 win, 2 draws and, 3 losses. Marseille has lost two matches in a row, and are currently four matches without getting a draw either.
Bordeaux's away record is the exact opposite of Marseille's record, 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. The teams are fairly equal when it comes to performances, but it seems like Bordeaux is more in form lately, which is why I believe it is good to bet in their favor.

Colombian Liga Aguila
These are two teams that finished just a couple of points from each other in the league. Both teams have not started the new season well. Alianza won one and lost one, whereas Santa Fe had one draw and a loss.
Alianza has lost 3 of their last 5 home matches, they won the other two. Santa Fe has been pretty impressive in their away games, winning four of the last five matches they played on the road.
For some reason, Santa Fe seems to be a team that performs better on the road, than in their own stadium. Therefore, also, in this case, I want to go for an X2 bet.
