Junior vs Cerro Porteno Prediction & Betting Tips

Junior vs Cerro Porteno Preview

Junior host Cerro Porteno in what promises to be a tight and competitive Copa Libertadores clash between two sides who have been closely matched in this competition.

Junior will be looking to use their home advantage to claim a vital victory, while Cerro Porteno arrive with confidence after some solid recent results.

Junior Searching For Consistency After Difficult And Frustrating Recent Campaign

Junior have had a challenging Copa Libertadores campaign so far, failing to win any of their last three matches in the competition. They lost 2-0 away at Sporting Cristal last time out and were also beaten 1-0 away at Cerro Porteno in April, showing their away form has been particularly poor and unconvincing.

At home, Junior drew 1-1 against Palmeiras in their most recent home outing, which was a decent and competitive result against strong Brazilian opposition. That draw showed they can be resilient and dangerous at home, and they will need to replicate that determined and focused energy against Cerro Porteno here.

Cerro Porteno Showing Impressive Composure And Reliable Defensive Solidity Throughout

Cerro Porteno have been in decent Copa Libertadores form, winning one and drawing one of their last three matches. They beat Junior 1-0 at home in April in a controlled and disciplined performance, and also drew 1-1 at home against Palmeiras in their most recent home fixture, which was an encouraging result.

Their only setback came when they lost 1-0 away at Sporting Cristal in early April, which is the one disappointing blot on their recent record. Overall though, Cerro Porteno look a well-organised and tactically sharp side who will be difficult to break down in this fixture.

Junior vs Cerro Porteno Prediction

Junior look the pick here given home advantage and the fact they need a positive result in front of their own supporters. Backing Junior to win at 2.00 odds represents fair value for a home side capable of raising their game in this competition.

For the goals market, under 2.5 goals combined with both teams to score no fits well with the tight and defensively cautious nature of recent encounters between these sides. That combined market is available at 2.00 odds.

For the correct score, Junior winning 2-0 feels like a realistic outcome if they control this fixture effectively at home. That scoreline is priced at 8.50 odds.
