Libertad and Independiente Medellín get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Copa Libertadores Group Stage fixture.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Primera A game only four days ago. That game, against Deportivo Pasto, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Independiente Medellín.

It's quite the trip for Independiente Medellín when visiting Libertad as the cities are 6400 kilometers apart.

Libertad form and stats

Libertad was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the Copa Libertadores.

2W-1D-2L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Copa Libertadores for Libertad. Libertad haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Olimpia, 70 days ago.

Before that, Libertad played out a Division 1 draw 1-1 when visiting Guarani.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Libertad as they have a new game in only three days, a Division 1 match thankfully also at home. Sol de America are visiting.

Independiente Medellín form and stats

Independiente's mission in Copa Libertadores last season failed in the 2nd round.

There's been little loot from Independiente Medellín's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 8 away games in the Primera A. Independiente Medellín only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Copa Libertadores stats, they have 3 wins, 0 draws and 6 losses both home and away. Bitter travels for Independiente as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Atletico Nacional match.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Jaguares de Córdoba in the Primera A.

A quick return to home after this game, as Independiente Medellín are hosting Deportivo Cali in the Primera A only three days away.

Independiente are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 4 goals from 8 away games. 11 goals have been conceded by Independiente in these games.

Head 2 Head

Independiente Medellín - Libertad 1-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
