Libertad vs Atletico Paranaense Prediction: the Paraguayans and the Brazilians to Exchange Goals Again

The first match in Brazil ended 2:1 in favor of Atletico Paranaense, which means that the Red and Blacks in the upcoming game will be satisfied with a draw. Meanwhile, Libertad needs nothing but a victory.

Before losing to Atletico Paranaense, Libertad had a three-match winning and a six-match unbeaten streak. After that, the hosts defeated Resistencia 4:0. Libertad is in good form and will do everything to advance to the quarterfinals. The Paraguayans led Group B in the group stage, beating the same Atletico Paranaense. In their three home matches, Libertad earned the maximum of 9 points. Not surprisingly, bookmakers believe that the Paraguayans can, if not make it to the quarterfinals, at least outplay Atletico Paranaense.

Atlético Paranaense is flying to Paraguay with a five-match winning streak. Among these five victories were three away ones in the Brazilian championship, including 2:0 over Palmeiras, the current leader and the strongest team in South America in 2021. In the last four games, the Red and Blacks have scored at least two goals per meeting, which means that the visitors are productive enough. It is surprising how different their current away statistics are from the stats in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. Back then, the AP did not shoot n three games, drawing once and losing twice.

Both teams are in great shape. The first match between the opponents was quite productive - they reached TO (2.5), and the BTTS bet worked. We expect the upcoming meeting to be entertaining as the Paraguayans need an only victory and Atletico Paranaense lately scores often.
