In the Barclays Premier League (BPL), Minnis Road will face the top team of the league, Botihuaco, at home, and the situation is extremely tense. With the Copa Libertadores final coming up next month, Minnelli's motivation in the league seems to be wavering. Although Bautista has the honor of being the "Double Champions", they have a stable habit of playing on the road, with no more than 2 goals scored on the road in their last 4 matches in the league, so picking the under 2.5 goals is more trustworthy.
However, Minnelli has been in a slump lately, with only 1 win and 4 losses in their last five matches, scoring a lot of goals, including a 0-1 defeat against Falinteko in the final of the Copa Libertadores, which has taken a heavy toll on their morale. They are currently in 10th place in the league and are in a passive situation as they aspire to finish in the top seven in order to participate in the next Copa Libertadores. They are also facing the pressure of the Copa Libertadores final next month, where their opponents have invested a lot of money, and they may hold back in this match to make it difficult for their opponents to figure out their strengths.
On the other hand, Baoji Huaqiao's goal is not only to compete for the Copa Libertadores, but also to stay at the top of the league table, 4 points ahead of Pomeranian, with 5 rounds of matches remaining. Unlike Minnis Road, Baoji Huaqiao focuses more on consistency in their double fronts. In their last 17 matches, they have 9 wins and 7 losses in legal time, with only one loss. The wins are often by small margins, which doesn't detract from their formidable strength, especially when playing on the road. In their last four league games away from home, they have won three and drawn one, without conceding a single goal. All three wins have been narrow 1-0 victories, either by nil or by water.
