Cerro Porteno vs Palmeiras Prediction: The teams won't score more than two goals

On the second matchday of the Libertadores Cup, they will face Brazil's Palmeiras. Both teams are in complete order with game practice, and the bookmakers favour the Brazilians in the pair, believing the Greens have an excellent chance of winning the upcoming game.

In June, the team played four matches in their national championship. The result was three wins and one defeat. The defeat came at the hands of Libertad. After the 21st round played, they are in second place, seven points behind leading Libertad. Their home statistics are second in the division, +8=1-1, 20:5 goal difference. In the group stage of the Libertadores Cup, they finished second in Group G, behind Argentina's Colón. In six games, +2=2-2, 5:4 goal difference.

The Palmeiras side seemed to be in perfect form recently, but this cannot be said of the Greens anymore. After defeating Sao Paulo in the Brazilian league, Palmeiras lost 0:1 to the Tricolour in the Brazilian Cup, while the Verdao drew 2:2 with Avai in the last round of the Brasileirao. Despite such results, the Greens still have a chance of a cup quarter-final, while Palmeiras continue to lead the league with a 3-point lead over their nearest pursuer, Corinthians. In the group stage of the Libertadores Cup, Palmeiras won Group A with 18 points out of a possible 18.

After a string of victories, Palmeiras have been unable to win two games in a row. Cerro Porteno is in full possession, so the Paraguayans will not give up a home game easily. And in general, Cerro Porteno is a lowly team, which was evident in the Libertadores Cup matches. We believe that the upcoming game has a great chance of being inconclusive. It is unlikely that Palmeiras will take a risk. The Greens are pretty happy with a draw or a minimum victory.
