Away team:
Palmeiras, needless to say, is an old strong team who has stayed in the top ranks of Brazil for decades. As the reigning champions of CONMEBOL Libertadores, they are going to defend their title in this season. Quite similarly, Palmeiras couldn’t take the win in the middle of this week when they had a 2-2 draw against Avai, who ranks only 12th in Serie A of Brazil. But that was seen as to preserve their strength for the game tomorrow.
On the whole, Palmeiras is the better team in this game.
Statistics:
Cerro Porteño has 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in their last 10 games. They did a good job to maintain that state and continue the good feeling to score. Chasing Libertad, the leader of Primera Division, Cerro Porteño is still down by 7 points in the league table. Some key games in the critical stage of CONMEBOL Libertadores could be a distraction for them. Also, they have to work along both lines, which could be a serious challenge for them.
On the contrary, Palmeiras is the one who has more expeience to play in different competitions at the same period. They know how to give consideration to both sides carefully. Ranking 1st in the Serie A of Brazil with the lead of 3 points ahead of Corinthians in 2nd makes them relatively comfortable. 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 lose in the last 10 games could be a guarantee for them to win in the game tomorrow against Cerro Porteño.
