Cerro Porteno vs Palmeiras – In the Copa Libertadores, on Wednesday night, Palmeiras and Cerro Porteno will square off for a chance to advance to the quarterfinals.
The visitors finished top of Group A with 18 points from six matches, while Porteno qualified for the final 16 of the championship by finishing second in Group G.
At least 38 times, Porteno have competed in the Copa Libertadores, with six semi-final appearances, notably in 2011, when they lost 4-1 to Santos, who went on to win the championship.
To qualify for the round of 16, the Paraguayan champions were able to win two, draw two and lose two of their six matches in Group G, for a total of eight points.
A poor performance in group play sent Porteno to Pot Two, where they’ll face a Palmeiras team that breezed through Group A with a perfect score. Following their 1-0 league loss to Libertad on Sunday, Francisco Arce’s team enters this match seven points behind league leaders Libertad.
Cerro Porteno vs Palmeiras – Betting Analysis
A team with a history of 34 Primera Division titles will undoubtedly be considered the underdogs going into the last-16 matchup, but Porteno will believe that they can take a first-leg lead into the second matchup on July 6.
Palmeiras, on the other hand, enters this encounter after a 2-2 tie with Avai on Sunday in Serie A, where they sit atop the standings with 29 points from 14 games.
In the group stage of the competition, Abel Ferreira’s team was impressive, winning all six of their Group A matches and scoring 25 goals while only conceding three.
Last year, Palmeiras won their third Copa Libertadores. Periquito Verde drew Avai in their last league match after losing 1-0 to Sao Paulo on June 24. Their last win was June 21 in Sao Paulo. Athletico Paranaense hosts Palmeiras and Porteno in Copa Libertadores.
