Monagas take on the visitors Pereira in round 5 match of Copa Libertadores group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 7th at Estadio Monumental de Maturín (Maturín)
Monagas have reached a decent level only in recent years. "Warriors from Guarechepe" were founded in 1987. So far, they have only won one title, which marked their 30th anniversary since the foundation. In the previous cycle, the team finished in third place. However, even that was enough for them to have a rare opportunity to try themselves in the Copa. They managed to secure draws at home against Colo-Colo and even Boca Juniors in the first round, causing a sensation. But both away matches were lost, and now, realistically, their chances, if any, are only for third place.

Deportivo Pereira rely on last year's breakthrough. "Aurirojo" were founded in the first half of the last century. However, for a long time, their greatest achievements were considered reaching the final of the Colombian Cup, which they lost in 2021, and a few sets of "bronze" medals. From 2012 to 2019, the team played in the second national league. Suddenly, last year, they sensationally managed to win the championship title! This allowed them to participate in the Copa. Gradually, they gained momentum there: in the first two rounds, they only secured one point, but in May, they managed to defeat not only Monagas (2-1) at home but also shockingly, with a lone goal in the 78th minute by Rodriguez, they even overpowered Boca Juniors.
The 2-1 victory in Colombia in favor of Deportivo Pereira became the first direct encounter in the history of these modest clubs. Even now, playing away, the Colombians are considered the club with a higher chance of success. Nevertheless, let's secure the bet on the hosts with a "zero" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Monagas to win with 0.0 handicap.
