On June 29, Estádio José Pinheiro Borda (Porto Alegre) will host the match of the 6th round of the Copa Libertadores, in which Internacional will compete with Independiente Medellin. The battle will start at 00:00 CET.

Internacional

The team was disgraced by the relegation from the Serie A of its country not so long ago. Still, it was able to return as fast as possible, and then periodically climbed to high places. The 2022 season was successful in this regard, “the Colorado” became the vice champion. Suffice it to say that the team took gold medals only half a century ago, in the 70s. To tell the truth, a real rollback to the middle of the Serie A table has begun now. Speaking about the current segment, the Copa Libertadores is developing well for the Brazilians. They have not lost there yet, but, at the same time, they won twice and achieved 3 draws. Thus, the very first misfire, which can happen in the 6th round, will throw them back to the 3rd place. On the other hand, a draw in the home match would be enough to guarantee the current 2nd position.

Independiente Medellin

The club became the champion of Colombia for the sixth and so far the last time in 2016. At the same time, the previous draw brought the 2nd place (by the way, the group stage has been completely failed now) – that was enough to start in the Copa Libertadores once again. “El Poderoso de la Montaña” even reached the semi-finals there, but that happened a long time ago – the team can “celebrate” the 20th anniversary of the higher mentioned success this year. Nowadays, it hopes to get into the play-offs. The team succeeded in the qualification – it knocked out “El Nacional” and “Magallanes” according to the same scenario: a victory at the home arena and a draw at the away one. Moreover, there was only 1 defeat, which was made by Nacional, in 5 matches of the group stage. That failure was followed by three victories, and now it is Independiente that leads the group. Still, it is ahead of the Uruguayans, who are in the 3rd place, by 2 points, and will play with a neighbour in the table. There is a threat to fall to the penultimate place with 10 points in the asset in the case of defeat!

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Speaking about the previous season, the opponents played in the Copa Sudamericana and then the Brazilians won both matches. The 1st round of the current group stage brought a 1-1 draw.

Predictions

Bookmakers believe in the Brazilians, but they have a difficult opponent, who will be happy to achieve a draw. Thus, we bet on the victory of the club from Medellin with “a +1 goal handicap” (odd: 2.0).
