Copa Libertadores betting and spectator preview: Cerro Porteño and América de Cali meet at Estadio General Pablo Rojas to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.

Cerro Porteño have less rest than América de Cali in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Division 1 game only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus 12 de Octubre, was also a home game here at Estadio General Pablo Rojas. The away team is better rested.

América de Cali have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 6000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
