The competition began on 5 March and is scheduled to end on 23 November 2024, with the final to be played in Asunción, Paraguay.

I'm creating this topic to comment on the CONMEBOL Sudamericana 2024 cup, the third round is already taking place and I'm especially keeping an eye on group C in support of Internacional who were champions of the competition in 2008.

I invite everyone to participate and follow this great dispute. Good luck to everyone!

Very good topic @tg88

One detail that I found very interesting in this edition of the Copa Sudamericana is that there is no so-called "group of death", during the draw for the brackets, all the good teams were evenly distributed across the groups.

For me, the favorites for the title are Internacional and Boca Juniors.

I'll be watching the Sudamericana again this year, as Corinthians failed to qualify for the Libertadores this year
But as I've already said, I'm going to bet against my team, since they've been losing all their matches

A very positive highlight is the Fortaleza team, who few people know outside Brazil and who won their first 3 games, beat Boca Juniors in their last game 4x2, and last year almost won the title, only to lose the final on penalties to LDU from Ecuador
It's a good team to bet on

This information is very curious, to be honest, I just started following the championship and hadn't paid any attention to it. But from what I understand, only 1 team per group is classified, right? So in this case it remains very complicated for the "smaller" teams.

Fortaleza's performance so far is impressive, anyone who bet on them made good profits.

As a "Colorado" fan, I am also following this group closely, but it s undeniable that everyone is also following Group D.

This is the so-called "death group". Because Boca Juniors is one of the favorites for the title, even after being left out of the Libertadores last season. Fortaleza is also highly regarded, as it was runner-up last year, and to complete the clash we also have Nacional Potosí and Sportivo Trinidense.

Anyway... the championship is just starting, I believe it will get even more interesting when we move on to the next phase.

If anyone is interested, here are the full Sudamericana regulations, in Portuguese and Spanish
https://www.conmebol.com/pt-br/documentos-pt-br/manual-de-clubes-da-conmebol-sudamericana-2024/

The rules are a little different from the standard
Whoever finishes first is guaranteed a place in the Round of 16, but whoever finishes second in their group goes into a playoff, and that playoff will be the 8 teams from the Copa Sudamericana, plus 8 teams that finish third in the Libertadores groups
Whoever wins this playoff will go through to the Round of 16.

So there are plenty of chances for all the teams

To be honest, this team (Sportivo Trinidense) I have no idea who they are, Real Potosi I know from Libertadores and Fortaleza I haven't followed, well, from the way you said it, so it could be considered the "group of death ".

Fortaleza's performance so far is impressive, anyone who bet on them made good profits.

Well, since you both spoke highly of Fortaleza, I'll follow it a little more closely, who knows, maybe I can consider it when I'm placing some bets.

Glad that someone made up a thread for Sudamericana because this competition is way more entertained to watch than Libertadores because here anything can happen but on the same time , you must be very careful who you chose to bet on because some teams qualified this season for Sudamaericana but if you search them how they are doing in the internal championship , you will notice some of them being at the bottom right now with absolutely no chance to qualify for another Sudamaericana season. 

Anyway , I personally watched for 2 years this competition when it first arrived and I've always saw great football but also great fans who are way more vocal and passionate than Europeans. 

[LUCKMCFLY]

This South American Cup will be very good, and the thread will be very interesting, I really like how Corinthias and Internacional have done, for me they are the teams that I see the most that can shine as they are, I don't know about you but for me this cup is the I really enjoy it, in fact I watch it on FOX because I like how the Argentinians narrate, not even the Colombians who narrate the matches with so many emotoins, in this case I prefer to listen to the Argentinian because they have a fairly impartial position on the teams, I think there is a little more equity, even though the Argentine teams are very good. There is a little more equity, except that the Argentine teams are very good.

I have to agree with you, the Sudamericana is a championship that is difficult to bet on, even more so than the Libertadores

Even though I have a good level of knowledge about South American teams, every year I'm surprised by a team I've never seen play before.
There are also certain matches that have a surprising result that can be a curse for bettors, (or great hehehe) for those who take a chance, because small teams sometimes achieve unbelievable results, because for these players, often the most important match of their lives will be against Sudamericana opponents, such as Boca Juniors, Flamengo, Corinthians for example

[rdluffy]

Corinthians will play again today



I'm seriously thinking of betting on Nacional or even Nacional or draw paying 1.97
Corinthians have been playing so badly lately that I confess I don't even feel like watching the game hehehe (just kidding, I'll watch  )

[rdluffy]

Nobody watching or excited about the Sudamericana?



There's a Corinthians game today, and the odds are very good for both teams. I think today I'm finally going to bet more confidently on Corinthians, with 3.50 odds the risk;return is very good
Even though Corinthians aren't playing at home, the game is in the interior of São Paulo, so there will be lots of fans supporting them.

I hope it's a nice game to watch hehehe

Well...
I looked for the history of these clashes here and discovered that Corinthinas hasn't beaten Bragantino since 2022, but Corinthians has an advantage in terms of overall history... they have already faced each other in 61 games, of which Corinthians has 25 wins and 21 draws and Bragantino only won 15 times.

Now, Corinthians will try to win this competition and win all the titles possible for a Brazilian club, since the South American trophy is the only one missing for them to be champions of everything, and complete their collection (just like the Internacional ).

But, to achieve this, Corinthians still needs to win a sequence of seven games and Bragantino is the first of these challenges.
In any case, I'm rooting and betting on Corinthians to win.

Congratulations @alegotardo, you've also won the bet 
The odds were very good, 3.50 and finally Corinthians won an important match and I managed to recover some of the loss they've already given me in this season hahahah

With Talles Magno recently signed and now the arrival of Venezuelan player José Martinez, it seems that the club's management is trying to improve and it may be that now the team will get a good improvement, finally
Corinthians' next game will be on the August 20th, and they will be playing at home, with a good chance of qualifying

[rdluffy]

After the first game and a good victory, Corinthians now will play the second game against Bragantino
Take a look at the odds:



I think Corinthians have great chances to win again without too much pressure, playing at home with total support of the fans
But incredibly (or not haha), in the last 5 games between the two teams, Corinthians have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 3
The statistics are not in Corinthians' favor

[rdluffy]

Doesn't anyone watch the Copa Sudamericana anymore?
If no one answers, I'll stop posting in this thread 

The Cup is currently in the quarter-finals and there are still 4 Brazilian teams left: Corinthians, Fortaleza, Cruzeiro and Athletico-PR

Yesterday Corinthians finally got some joy and managed to beat Fortaleza 2x0 and finally Yuri Alberto scored a goal that helped the team secure the victory
And I deserved to win another bet, after all the team had already made me lose a lot of money believing in them hehehehe 

Today's game is Lanus (Argentina) vs Independiente Medellín (Colombia)
Tomorrow there's Cruzeiro vs Libertad (Paraguay) and Racing (Argentina) vs Athletico-PR

Please don't stop. I still need to complain about Fortaleza. What a horrible game they had. For those who reached the final last year, they are terrible. I even thought it was a scam. I want to see how they will deal with this situation for the next game at Corinthians' home.

[alegotardo]

I'm currently betting on a very favorable result for Athlético Paranaense.

They've already won this tournament in 2018 and 2021, so they already know what "the path" is to winning the third championship.

Unfortunately, they're not in their best moment, because despite reaching the quarterfinals, they've only won one of the last five matches they've played and the Uruguayan coach is already starting to feel the pressure from the board and the fans for better results.

They started well... winning with four victories in the group stage, but the defeats to Sportivo Ameliano and Danubio took them out of the lead. They got past Cerro Porteño, after drawing away from home and winning at home. They got two victories in the round of 16. Now... they need to show strength again to advance to the semifinals.

I'm confident!

Fortaleza really were unrecognizable in this match
The team has dropped a lot in the last 3 or 5 games, I don't know how it happened, but Corinthians was very lucky to get the win away from home and probably secure qualification (or at least make it easier for the game in SP).
Why do you think Fortaleza have got so much worse?

...

If you managed to bet on Athletico yesterday, congratulations, the team got a good win playing at home, quite important
It would have been better if they'd scored two goals to put their minds at ease for the game in Argentina, but the team has already done the basics, which is to win at home.
Now they have to hold on to the result in Argentina (not easy)
I believe that Athletico will qualify, especially since, as you said, the team is used to playing in the Sudamericana

I've been noticing for a while that they've been playing badly at home. But they're doing well away from home, so at least that gives me a little hope for a comeback. But then I remember that it's at Corinthians' stadium and I accept that it's unlikely that they'll achieve anything.

I say unlikely because it's still Corinthians, who are fighting to avoid relegation.
