Argentinos Juniors take on the visitors Liverpool Montevideo in the round 5 match of Copa Libertadores group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, June 8th at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona (Buenos Aires).
Argentinos Juniors are close to achieving success in the Copa Libertadores. "The Red Bugs" have provided their fans with various emotions in recent years. In 2010, they won their 3rd championship title (previous ones came in the "golden" years of the project in the 1980s), but a couple of years later, they struggled in the league. Currently, they are managing without such fluctuations: in 2022, they had a decent but not particularly outstanding 8th place, and now they have dropped slightly due to a couple of defeats. However, their performances in the Copa Libertadores are pleasing. They started with a couple of victories, including one against Corinthians, then added 2 draws, and another success in the remaining matches guarantees their qualification for the playoffs.

Liverpool Montevideo need success even away from home. "La Cuchilla" has gone for a long time without winning a single trophy, even at the national level in Uruguay, despite being highly regarded. However, they did manage to win the Torneo Intermedio in 2019, which, although not the most prestigious, was still a title. However, it remains their only one, as they finished in 2nd place again last season. In the current season, they are performing much worse than in 2022. In the Copa Libertadores, they also started with "dry" defeats against Corinthians and Independiente del Valle, and only then managed to earn 4 points with a draw against the Argentinians and a victory over the Ecuadorians.
In early May, the teams played against each other for the first time in history. On that occasion, in Montevideo, the guests from Buenos Aires took the lead twice, but Betancourt responded with a brace. Experts expect an easy victory for the Argentinians with an entertaining game. However, the hosts are not in the best form, and the visitors are simply weak, especially in away matches. The prediction is "under 3.0 goals total."
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
