Cerro Porteno hosts America De Cali in round 6 of the Copa Libertadores group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 26th at Estadio General Pablo Rojas (Asunción)
Cerro Porteno remains one of the leading clubs in Paraguay. The Cyclone has 33 champion’s titles, and the last one was won in Aperture last year. However, Clausura was unsuccessful: 3rd place in the regular tournament and relegation in the playoff quarterfinals. Now Cerro Porteno is below Libertad and Nacional, but the team looks quite good at Copa Libertadores. Francisco Arce's men failed to score a single point in matches against the undisputed leader of their quartet, Atletico Mineiro. However, Cerro Porteno scored four points in the games against Deportivo La Guaira and beat America De Cali away (0-2). All that is needed now is not to lose. And the hosts even may lose with a minimal score.

For America De Cali (like for the rest of Colombia), it is now difficult to focus on football. Just remember the game against America Mineiro, when protesters against the government nearly disrupted the Copa Libertadores match. It was still played, but Hulk and other players ran to wash their eyes, complaining about the tear gas. However, other clubs are playing, and many do it better than the champion of the previous tournament. Now America De Cali is only 8th in the championship standings and risks falling out of the playoff zone. And the Red Devils have not succeeded internationally. They scored all four points in matches against the outsider Deportivo La Guaira. However, they still have a chance to dislodge the Paraguayans from their position. Yes, it will be difficult, but it is advisable to take points anyway. Venezuelans have one point less and will play against unmotivated Brazilians - what if they win?
In April, the teams played against each other for the first time. America de Cali did not even have a chance and lost 0-2 at home. Then Morales scored in the 29th minute, and Cardoso Lucena doubled the advantage at the very end. Nothing has changed that much since then. If the Paraguayans managed to beat America in Cali, then why should they lose even a point at home? We bet on another victory for Cerro Porteno.
Prediction for the match: Cerro Porteno to win
