Libertad and Athletico Paranaense to Draw

The guests enter this game with a minimal advantage, so we expect to see a very exciting game. Also, both teams are currently in great forms, so it’s not easy to predict what can happen here.

That being said, Athletico Paranaense enters the game in great mood after they managed to beat Palmeiras in the last round of Serie A to come within two points of the first place, so we can see them holding out for a draw against Libertad that will get them to the quarter-finals.

Libertad and Athletico Paranaense to Draw at Half Time

Since we can see this match ending in a draw, we can also see the two teams being tied at half time, as is usually the case with matches that end without a winner.

After all, that already happened in two of the three the head-to-head meetings between Libertad and Athletico Paranaense this season, so we can see it happening again in this game.

Under 2.5 Total Goals

Although we saw three goals in the first leg of this matchup, the previous two h2h meetings between Libertad and Athletico Paranaense in group stages of Copa Libertadores have gone under 2.5 total goals and that is what we expect from this game as well.

Furthermore, Libertad averaged 2.43 goals per game in Copa Libertadores so far, while Athletico Paranaense averaged 2.57 goals per game in the competition this season.

Libertad vs Athletico Paranaense preview: Can Libertad overcome the deficit?

Libertad

The  team from Asuncion recorded a win and a draw in the first two round of Copa Libertadores and they are sharing the top spot in the group with their upcoming opponent Athletico Paranaense. In addition to this, Libertad is leading the league in Paraguayan Apertura as well, where they have four wins, one draw, and one loss in the last six games.

After winning Copa Sudamericana last season for the second time in their history, Athletico Paranaense seems ready to fight for a good result in Copa Libertadores this season.

However, Athletico also lost two of their first three games in Brazilian Serie A.
