Athletico Paranaense to Win
The new season of Copa Libertadores is starting and Caracas and Athletico Paranaense will meet for the third time in the past few seasons, with the guests looking for their third win over Caracas.
Although Serie A is yet to start, which means that Athletico Paranaense is not in full competitive form at the moment, we still expect them to win this game since they are the better team on paper.
Over 2.5 Total Goals
One of the previous two h2h duels between Caracas and Athletico Paranaense ended with three goals, while we saw just two goals in the other one. Still, we expect three or more goals to be scored here.
The reason lies in the fact that Athletico Paranaense went over 2.5 total goals in three of their last five games. However, Caracas did this in just one of their previous five matches.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Both teams scored in one of the previous two h2h meetings between Caracas and Athletico Paranaense, but we can see that happening on Tuesday evening.
We expect this because both teams scored in three of the last five Caracas matches in their domestic league, while the same thing happened in four of the previous five Athletico Paranaense games across the board.
Caracas vs Athletico Paranaense preview: A tough task for the home team
Caracas
The vice-champions of Venezuela have started the new season slowly, with seven points from the first six games in their domestic league. And while the team has only lost once, they also won just one game, with the remaining four matches ending in draws. So, it’s clear that Caracas is still looking for their top form ahead of the first round of Copa Libertadores group stages.
Athletico Paranaense
The winners of Copa Sudamericana last season secured their spot in Copa Libertadores that way since they were only 15th in the Brazilian Serie A last season. The Brazilian championship hasn’t started yet, but Athletico Paranaense is not out of form completely since they played in their regional Campeonato Paranaense, where they lost to Coritiba in semi-finals.
