Comments on: Estudiantes Try to Hold Pavlovich and Co. for a Spot in the Final. http://sudamericana.theoffside.com/copa-sudamericana-news/estudiantes-try-to-hold-pavlovich-and-co-for-a-spot-in-the-final.html News from the Copa Sudamericana tournament in South America Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:55:40 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Mauro http://sudamericana.theoffside.com/copa-sudamericana-news/estudiantes-try-to-hold-pavlovich-and-co-for-a-spot-in-the-final.html#comment-75 Mauro Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:55:40 +0000 http://sudamericana.theoffside.com/copa-sudamericana-news/estudiantes-try-to-hold-pavlovich-and-co-for-a-spot-in-the-final.html#comment-75 On paper, Inter are, far and away, the favorites from the midfield forward. But from the midfield back, Estudiantes are pretty solid. It's going to take some serious talent to break the Estudiantes back line, especially if they play like they have in the last two matches. Estudiantes have only had to travel to Brazil in this tournament (vs. Botafogo in the Quarters), which is a pretty big advantage since Inter have had to travel to Mexico in the last round (vs. Chivas), Argentina (vs. Boca) in the Quarters and to Chile (vs. U. Católica) in the Round of 16. The travel does take it's toll on a squad regardless of who they are. On paper, Inter are, far and away, the favorites from the midfield forward.

And I should take some time to compliment you on spreading the word on this tournament. It was a nice run, though.
