Libertad Asuncion take on the visitors The Strongest in the round 6 match of Copa Libertadores group stage. The match will be played on Friday, May 27th at Estadio Dr. Nicolás Leoz (Asunción).
Libertad is clearly determined to succeed in this match. "Los Repolleros" is rightfully considered one of the best clubs in their country. The 21st title, was taken last year. True, it was in Apertura - in Clausura then there was a fall to 4th place. Now Daniel Garnero's wards are confidently leading in the new La Liga, ahead of Cerro Porteño, not to mention everyone else. The Paraguayans also played well at the start of the group stage, scoring 7 points in 3 rounds. But then everything deteriorated sharply, and Libertad lost not only to Atletico Paranaense, but also to Caracas. So far, it has been possible to keep the lead, but only by 1 point.

The Strongest is considered one of the best in its country. The Tigers have won 14 league titles, with most of them, 8, in the last decade. On the other hand, since Apertura 2016, it has not been possible to take gold, and in 2021 it was in 3rd place. Now Strongest, by the way, have already guaranteed themselves a place in the playoffs in the championship, being among the leaders of their group and they want to repeat the same in the Cope Libertadores. The results so far are extremely controversial: they defeated 5-0, Atlético Paranaense, the current winner of the Copa Sudamericana. But at the same time there was a defeat the same to the Brazilians, in the reverse fixture. Given the fact that the rest of the fights invariably ended in draws, the chances of reaching the playoffs still remain. But it is extremely dangerous to lose now, it can send you to the last place.
In 2018, Libertad was able to win both meetings against Strongest. A year later, already in February, in qualifying, the Paraguayans defeated the Bolivians at home 5-1, after which they complacently agreed to a draw on the road. Of course, the Strongest will fight, but Libertad is set for the maximum result. We are waiting for a spectacular game and "total over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
