Atletico Paranaense vs Libertad Prediction: Will the Red and Blacks beat Libertad at home again?

Atletico Paranaense will face Libertad in the first leg of the Libertadores Cup round of 16. The opponents know each other well and have already played twice in this tournament, but in the group stage.

The Red and Blacks come into the game with a three-match winning streak. In this period, Atletico Paranaense beat Coritiba 1:0 away in the championship and Bragantino 4:2 away in the Cup of Brazil. They beat Baiae 2:1 away. In total, the unbeaten streak of Atletico Paranaense has extended to 11 matches. In the group stage of the Libertadores Cup, Atlético Paranaense played three home matches and won them all, including a 2:0 win against Libertad.

The Libertad has a six-match unbeaten streak and a three-match winning streak. By the way, the unbeaten streak began immediately after the loss in the away game against Atlético Paranaense. It would be symbolic if the streak were broken again in an away game against the Red and Black. The Libertad played four matches in June and conceded only a goal in that period in an away game against the Guarani. Despite the defeat in Curitiba, Libertad finished higher than the Brazilians, first in Group B. Libertad finished just one point behind them in the group stage of the Libertadores Cup.

Both teams are in good form, and Atletico Paranaense will have a challenging game ahead, but we think the Red and Black will be stronger again in their home game against Paraguay. However, we expect the teams will exchange goals.
