It's game one of two in the Copa Libertadores as Universitario host Cerro Porteño. This is a 2nd Round fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
Universitario and Cerro Porteño should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
It's quite the trip for Cerro Porteño when visiting Universitario as the cities are 3400 kilometers apart.
Universitario form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Copa Libertadores for Universitario, as the manager G. Pérez Perdigón led his troops to eliminate Carabobo, and reach the 2nd Round. Last season their Copa Libertadores adventure ended in the 1st round against Oriente Petrolero.In general it's been a long time since Universitario tasted defeat here, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games.
Universitario are returning here after visiting Melgar in a Primera Division game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. A. Succar and D. Millán scored the goal(s). Before that, Universitario had a Copa Libertadores home game versus Carabobo which ended with a victory 1-0.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Primera Division game versus Sport Huancayo in only three days. This game is also played here.
Cerro Porteño form and stats
Cerro Porteño's mission in Copa Libertadores last season failed in the quarter-finals.0 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Cerro Porteño playing as the away team in the Division 1 this season.
