Get ready for the return leg of the Copa Sudamericana 8th Finals between Libertad and Junior. This should be an interesting match and this preview contains everything you need to know. Read on!

Libertad form and stats

5W-1D-1L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Copa Sudamericana for Libertad.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Libertad, who played 0-0 against Guairena. That match was also played at this venue (Estadio Defensores del Chaco).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Junior and winning 4-3.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Libertad have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won three times, drawn zero and lost two.

The manager D. Garnero will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Cerro Porteno in only four days.

Junior form and stats

Junior's mission in Copa Sudamericana last season failed in the quarter-finals.

The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Junior have lost on their last two travels.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Junior, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus America de Cali. Goalkeeper Eder Chaux got the top player rating of the team with 8.1/10. Chaux saved a penalty and stopped the opponent with eight saves. Junior goalkeeper Eder Chaux had a great day against America de Cali, but despite making eight saves the loss could not be avoided.

The game before that, in the Copa Sudamericana, was lost at home, a 3-4 defeat against Libertad.

We have checked recent matches where Junior have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, two draws and five defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Junior are hosting Envigado in the Primera A only four days away.

Head 2 Head

Junior - Libertad 3-4 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
