While the domestic championships in South America heat up, the Copa Libertadores is well underway and the group stage is coming to an end. This group is very interesting because for now, all teams have a chance to reach the knockout stage.

Before the start of the competition, Athletico PR was the favorite for the first two places along with another Brazilian club, Atletico MG. Athletico PR is currently in 1st place with 7 points but with only 1 point more than Atletico MG and rivals in this match, Libertad from Asuncion. Alianza Lima is in last place with 4 points.

Just a few days ago, Libertad played a derby match in the Paraguayan league against Cerro Porteno and lost 2-0. It wasn't a good prelude to this very important match, but Libertad relies on a solid defense and midfield, as well as a generally good form in recent months.

Athletico PR vs Libertad Asuncion pick: HOME TEAM TO WIN

Athletico has a very good tradition against Libertad. They beat them in the last 3 matches at this stadium in 2005 and twice in 2022. This is a club that lost at home at the end of May after 20 games without defeat at home. Libertad is not such a strong away team and it will be very difficult for them to threaten the home team's goal. Some minimum victory 1-0 or 2-0 in favor of the home team is imposed as the final outcome.
