Penarol continues to dazzle this season, dominating the Uruguayan Primera Division with a commanding seven-point lead over their closest rivals. Simultaneously, in Copa Libertadores, Penarol is second in the group and has a good chance to progress to the next phase. Diego Aguirre's team has been playing well in the last two weeks, as they recorded three wins in the last four matches. Even in their latest fixture against Wanderers, where Aguirre opted to rest some key starters, Penarol secured a vital 1-0 win at home.
Atletico MG have a great season too. In Brazilian Serie A, they started with nine points in five matches, while in Copa Libertadores, Gabriel Milito's team collected a maximum of 12 points, so Atletico MG already qualified for the knockout phase. Milito's team are without a loss in the last 12 matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 1-0 on the road against Rosario Central. Atletico MG didn't play for the weekend, so they had enough time to rest for the game against Penarol.
Penarol vs Atletico MG pick: Over 2.5 goals
Both teams, Penarol and Atletico MG, have high-scoring games lately. Penarol went over 2.5 goals in five of the last seven matches, while Atletico MG went over 2.5 goals in four of the previous six games. Over 2.5 goals should be good option for this tie.

Penarol rested some of its best players after the previous national league game. One of the players who didn't start is right-winger Leonardo Sequeira. He scored seven goals in 12 matches this season and should return to the starting lineup against Atletico MG. Also, head coach Diego Aguirre should revert to their usual four in defense.
