Last season Libertad were part of the knockout phase in Copa Libertadores, but this season they finished in 3rd position and will continue their continental journey in Copa Sudamericana. In the 1st round of domestic competition, they won and ended the winless strike of 4 matches. This team is very confident when playing at home stadium and in the last 5 matches they have 3 wins and 2 draws. Libertad have small problems with missing players as they will be without Hugo Martinez, Antonio Bareiro, and Bautista Merlini.

Expert Betting Tips
Libertad Asuncion are favorite in this match, mostly because they are playing at home, where they feel really comfortable and confident this season. On the other hand, Tigre are playing really bad on away matches, and they had 5 defeats in a row before they won the last match in the league. Even though both teams are very similar I think that home advantage and fans will help Libertad Asuncion to get positive result before the rematch in Argentina next week.
