- Competition: Copa Libertadores
- Date: Thursday, 8th May 2025
- Kickoff: 23:00 UK / 00:00 CEST
- Venue: Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes (Cordoba)
Talleres Cordoba expected another good season, but they are terrible so far. In Copa Libertadores, the team from Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes are without points after three rounds and urgently need a victory if they have any ambitions in the most elite South American competition. In the Argentinian league, Talleres Cordoba are terrible, too, as they won only 13 points after 16 matches.
The team from Cordoba are in a very disappointing run of four defeats in a row. In the previous game, Tallares lost 2-1 at home against Instituto. The home side had 66% ball possession and six shots on the goal more than the opponent, but their poor defense failed them again.
Libertad have a good season. In the Copa Libertadores, they collected six points so far, while in the Paraguayan league, Sergio Aquino's team is the leader with four points more than the next team on the table. However, Libertad Asuncion are on a terrible run lately, with five games in a row without a victory. In the previous game, they played 0-0 at home against Atletico Tembetary. The home side finished the match with an xG of 1.29, while the guests had only 0.45, so Libertad clearly deserved all three points.
Talleres Cordoba vs Libertad Asuncion pick: Under 2.5 goals
Talleres Cordoba scored eight goals in the last ten matches. On the other hand, Libertad Asuncion didn't score any goals in the previous three games. Both teams have some problems offensively, so we shouldn't expect more than two goals in the upcoming tie.
Talleres Cordoba team news
Talleres Cordoba sacked their head coach about a month ago. Pablo Guinazu was appointed as a caretaker manager. In the first game under Guinazu, Talleres Cordoba won, but after that came six games in a row without victory, so we probably should expect another change very soon.

Libertad Asuncion team news
Libertad's head coach, Sergio Aquino, was appointed in December. In the first few months, the team was brilliant. However, after the last few weeks and a big problem with scoring, there is a growing concern about Aquino's abilities. The game against struggling Talleres Cordoba is probably a great opportunity for returning on the right track.
