The last match from Group F of the Copa Libertadores between Cerro Porteño and Sporting Cristal is shaping up to be one of the most interesting in the round. Currently, Cerro Porteño is the leader of the group, while Sporting Cristal occupies the third position, but nothing is definitively decided yet.
Cerro Porteño rarely allows high-scoring matchesSporting Cristal still has a real chance to climb to second place, so the motivation for the visitors will certainly be serious. Interestingly, they inflicted the only loss on Cerro Porteño in the group so far. Overall, however, the leader's style is quite cautious and pragmatic. Each of Cerro Porteño's five matches so far ended with under 2.5 goals, and their three victories were by the minimal score of 1:0. Sporting Cristal usually sees a few more chances and goals, but in this decisive clash, they are unlikely to take too many risks. It should not be underestimated that the team's two previous away games in the group were losses.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goalsI expect a tense and tactical match, in which both teams will be very careful not to make mistakes. The stakes are high, and this will likely lead to a more closed game with few clear chances.
