On June 30, Estadio Banco Pichincha (Guayaquil) will host the match of the 6th round of the Copa Libertadores, in which Barcelona Guayaquil will compete with Cerro Porteño. The battle will start at 02:00 CET.

Barcelona Guayaquil

The club will celebrate its 100th anniversary in two years. Generally speaking, it turned out well: there are 16 league titles and a couple of participations, however, both unsuccessful, in the final of the Copa Libertadores. The team was able to take the 5th place in the regular Serie A table in 2022, but it managed to reach the final in the play-offs. It was not possible to achieve a new set of golden medals, at the same time, a ticket to the Copa was received again. Nowadays, “the Shipyard’s Idol” has got rather modest results both in the championship of native Ecuador, and, especially, in the Copa. It won only once – that happened in the home match against Bolívar. Still, there were only defeats in the away battle in Bolivia and two struggles with Palmeiras and even in the match against another outsider, Cerro Porteño. And only thanks to the better goal difference the team is in the 3rd place, and, therefore, it can play at the home arena for a draw in order to stay in it.

Cerro Porteño

The team is one of the flagships of Paraguayan football. “The Cyclone” won the championship title both in 2020 and in 2021, bringing the total number to a significant one – 34 titles. The previous season did not bring new golden medals – the team took only the 2nd place. It looks like it will repeat that result now – Libertad has come off significantly from all its pursuers. And the main disappointment was in the Copa Libertadores. The regular participant of the semi-finals of the tournament began optimistically there: it overcame Curico Unido and even Fortaleza in the qualification, and then it “pulled” out a victory in the 1st round match against Barcelona Guayaquil. Still, the higher mentioned successes were followed by continuous defeats, which led Cerro Porteño to the last place. And only the victory gives the opportunity to move a competitor from Guayaquil.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

The teams played in the Copa Libertadores qualification in 2020. Then, Barcelona won both fights without conceding a single goal: 1-0 and 4-0.

Predictions

Bookmakers believe the chances of Barcelona for a rematch to be quite real. Still, a draw is enough for it, that is why the match is unlikely to be spectacular. Thus, we bet on “total: under 2.5” (odd: 2.06).
