Alianza Lima take on the visitors Atletico Mineiro in round 5 match of Copa Libertadores group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 7th at Estadio Alejandro Villanueva (Lima)
Alianza Lima remain the flagship of football, but only at the national level in Peru. The "Blanquiazules" finished in first place in the national championship in both 2021 and 2022, now accumulating a total of 23 "golden" medals. Their main objectives are still focused on the domestic front. However, in the Copa Libertadores, they don't have much to boast about. In this edition, they had a good start with a draw against Atletico Paranaense and even a victory against Libertad with a score of 2-1. However, Paraguayan team managed to take revenge, and Miniero comfortably secured a 2-0 victory on their home turf.

Atletico Mineiro couldn't hold on to the top spot in the previous season. Led by Hulk, the "Rooster" managed to break a 50-year spell by winning the Brazilian championship in 2021, their first title since 1971. However, they couldn't defend their title and finished in 7th place in the last edition of Serie A. Currently, they are performing reasonably well in the Brasileirao, although not without some setbacks. They also managed to qualify for the main stage of the Copa Libertadores by defeating Carabobo and Millionarios. In the group stage, despite starting with defeats against Libertad and Atletico Paranaense, the Brazilians didn't give up. Instead, they took revenge on their compatriots, winning 2-1, and before that, they confidently defeated the Peruvians by scoring two unanswered goals.
The mentioned match in early May was the first meeting between these teams. Alianza are playing at home, and Lima is known for its specific high-altitude factor. Therefore, it won't be easy for the Brazilians to confirm their favorite status. It's better to place a bet on "under 2.5 goals" in total.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
