We’ll know the finalists for the 2024 Copa Libertadores upon the conclusion of Wednesday’s semi-final return leg between Peñarol and Botafogo. The winner of this tie will meet up with either Atletico Mineiro or River Plate for a shot at South America’s most coveted club trophy. Let’s get right into the prediction for this match between Manya and Fogo!

After a devastating 5-0 defeat in the first leg to Botafogo, Uruguayan giants Peñarol return to Montevideo facing a seemingly impossible task.

The loss spelled an end to Peñarol’s three-match winning streak across all competitions. However, the hosts have been in excellent form overall this season at the Estadio Campeon del Siglo.

They’re unbeaten in their domestic league, posting an 11-5-0 record, while winning six and drawing once in their seven Libertadores home matches.

Botafogo are on the verge of making their first ever Copa Libertadores final in the club’s 120-year history barring what would be an unprecedented collapse.

It was the latest in what has been an unbelievable year for the Rio de Janeiro based club who are also leading the Brasileiro Serie A with seven games remaining. A 1-0 away win over RB Bragantino on the weekend means that Botafogo have won their last two matches in a row and have extended their unbeaten run to 14 games.
