Going in the matchup, Metropolitanos FC is coming off a defeat against Club Nacional Montevideo in the Libertadores 2023’s opening matchup. Though Charlis Ortiz managed to strike an equalizer, the last-minute goal from Francisco Ginella gave Nacional a win (1-2). Under the command of Jose Maria Morr, Metropolitanos FC will be looking to rely on its main attack and center backs for the Primera division matches. With the likes of Laszo, Flores, and Ortiz in the lineup, Metropolitanos will be looking to stay intact in the Primera division and keep their focus aligned with the upcoming Libertadores matchday. In the last five matches played, Metropolitanos has scored 5 goals, averaging 1.00 goals per game. In two of the last five, Metropolitanos failed to score. Hence, the upcoming outing might turn into a challenge for the home side. 

Going in the matchup, Carabobo FC is coming off a comprehensive win against Monagas SC (3-0), in which Jose Balza, Carlos Sosa, and Edson Tortolero scored goals. Though Carabobo FC isn’t involved in Libertadores' action and was defeated by Atletico MG in the qualification round. The upcoming matchup will be an opportunity for them to prove their mantle and capabilities against Metropolitanos. Talking about the scoring, Carabobo FC has scored 6 goals in the last 5 matches, averaging 1.2 goals per game. Secondly, it has conceded 7 goals, averaging 1.4 goals. Moreover, Carabobo has only failed to score in 1 of its last 5 matches, which makes it likely to score against Metropolitanos. 

In the last four matches played between the two, Carabobo and Metropolitanos both have won a game each. Secondly, Carabobo’s form and current table standing in the Venezuelan Primera Division is better than Metropolitanos. Moving forward, I will be predicting either a draw or Carabobo to win. The match total is likely to be a shade over 2.5 goals, as the total of the two teams in their last two outings was over 2.5. 

• Carabobo FC to Win for 2.62
• Total Over 2.5 for 2.16
