Libertad Asuncion take on the visitors Atletico Mineiro in the round 6 match of Copa Libertadores group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 28th at Estadio Dr. Nicolás Leoz (Asunción).
Libertad have once again become the best club in Paraguay. "Los Repolleros" won their first championship title back in 1910, and now they are once again the flagship of the national level. They have won the last 3 Apertura tournaments, including the current year, bringing home the "gold." By the way, in 2006, they reached the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores for the second time in their history. Their initial goal now is to simply qualify for the playoffs, which will be very challenging. In the 5 matches played, they have had 3 defeats and 2 victories, both of which were away games. So, they need to win now and also improve their goal difference because in case of tied points, this factor will become decisive.

Atletico Mineiro simply must not falter. "Galo" won the championship in 2021, after waiting exactly 50 years since their debut triumph. However, their last Copa Libertadores victory was 10 years ago in 2013. Hulk and his teammates, who are currently in the second tier of the Brazilian Serie A, where they finished 7th in the previous season (currently holding onto the top 5 positions mostly), are very close to securing a spot in the Copa Libertadores playoffs. Starting from the qualification stage, where they defeated Carabobo and Millonarios, they suffered 2 initial defeats in the group stage, but then the Brazilians won 3 matches. They now have a 3-point advantage over the Paraguayan team and a better goal difference. Therefore, they can afford to lose in Asuncion, but only by a one-goal margin.
In 2017, they faced each other in the Copa Libertadores and exchanged victories. In April, Libertad won on the away game thanks to an early goal from Gomez. There is not much belief in the home team, but we should remember that the guests have no need to attack. Therefore, we bet that Libertad will not lose at home.
Prediction for the match: Libertad Asuncion not to lose.
