In the penultimate round of the group stages of the Copa Libertadores, Metropolitanos are set to host Independiente Medellin. This group B game finds Metropolitanos bottom without a point, while Independiente are second with seven points. The remaining two matches are a formality for Metropolitanos as they can’t even finish third. They will however want to finish with a bang at home. Metropolitanos scored four times in their four group games, but have conceded nine, having lost all four. With five losses in the last eight matches, Metropolitanos will not go into this game on a very strong footing. They’ve even lost the last two home matches. Three times in the last five matches, they’ve conceded two or more goals. This is their first season in the Copa Libertadores and Metropolitanos are clearly feeling the heat.

Independiente Medellin come into this game seeking to strengthen their position in this group. They will almost guarantee their place in the knockouts with a win here. Coming into this game Independiente Medellin have however failed to win any of their last three games. They haven't scored in those three matches and lost in two of them. Independiente Medellin haven't done any better in their away matches either. In the last five, they managed just one win, and they come into this game with three straight away losses. They are however more experienced in the Copa Libertadores and this should play out in their favor. Independiente Medellin have lost just once in 10 Copa Libertadores matches. They beat Metropolitanos 4-2 in their first meeting in this group and will be eyeing a double.
