Athletico Paranaense take on the visitors Alianza Lima in the round 6 match of Copa Libertadores group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 28th at Arena da Baixada (Curitiba).
Atletico Paranaense have recently achieved success primarily on the international stage. "Hurricane" managed to win their first continental-level title, the Copa Sudamericana, in 2018. They repeated this success three years later and reached the final of the Copa Libertadores in 2022. However, the "red and black" team has not been able to dominate the Serie A. For instance, in the previous edition, they finished in 6th place. A similar situation is unfolding now. While maintaining a similar level in the Brasileirao, the team has already accumulated 10 points in the Copa Libertadores. This is enough to secure their place in the playoffs.

Alianza Lima still has tournament aspirations. "Blanquiazules" are the strongest team in Peru. Perhaps not in the entire history of Peruvian football (although 23 titles are impressive), but certainly at the moment. The club has won the league title in 2021 and 2022, and they are currently leading the standings with confidence. However, their success has been limited to the national level. In the Copa Libertadores, they have achieved high results in the past, even reaching the semifinals, but that was half a century ago in the 1970s. At present, they are the outsider in the group, despite a promising start with a draw against Atletico Paranaense and a victory against Libertad. However, three consecutive defeats have dropped them to the bottom of the table. Nonetheless, there are still chances to climb one step higher, but it will require a victory in Brazil.
The goalless draw in April was the first encounter between the clubs. Judging by the odds, Atletico Paranaense is favored to win, and it seems to be an easy victory. However, they have nothing at stake in this match, so we bet on "under 2.5 goals scored".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
