In the early hours of Thursday (GMT), Libertad of Paraguay host the Colombian side Junior Barranquilla in the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana last-16.

The first leg produced a thrilling 4-3 win for Libertad. The tie is far from over though.

Libertad opened their domestic league campaign with a goalless draw against Guairena. The draw means that that the home team are now unbeaten in four games in all competitions. The draw also ended a three-game winning run in competitive football, which included the first leg win over Junior.

The Paraguayan outfit have been relatively prolific of late, scoring at least two goals in three of their last four matches.

Daniel Garnero’s team have a good recent record in the Copa Sudamericana, as they are four games unbeaten in the competition, having picked up three victories.

Libertad have a strong recent record on home soil in the Copa Sudamericana, winning six of their last seven matches on their own patch. They have also kept clean sheets in all six of those recent victories.

Junior Barranquilla suffered a 3-1 defeat against America de Cali in their opening league game of the season. The defeat was the visitors third straight competitive loss. A big factor in that poor recent form is that they have conceded at least two goals in all three of those defeats.

Junior’s recent results in the Copa Sudamericana have been mixed, but they have suffered two defeats in their last three matches in the competition.

The visitors have been difficult to beat on their travels in this competition, as they have not been beaten in 90 minutes in their last five matches in the Copa Sudamericana.

Forebet predicts that Libertad will record a victory in another entertaining game to seal their spot in the quarter-finals of the Copa Sudamericana.
