The knockout stage of the Copa Libertadores has begun, and Palmeiras will face Cerro Porteño this week. These two teams were in the same group at the start of the competition and are now set to meet again. The Brazilians finished second in that group, just behind their upcoming opponent. They’ll be looking for revenge, but their recent form isn’t ideal: two wins, two losses, and one draw in their last five matches across all competitions.

On the other hand, Cerro Porteño topped Group F with a record of four wins, one draw, and one loss. They were never truly challenged by Palmeiras, who finished two points behind. In late May, Cerro Porteño actually defeated Palmeiras. But since then, their recent results have been less impressive: five matches played across all competitions, with three losses and two wins. The Paraguayan team needs to regain consistency and stability ahead of this two-leg Copa Libertadores series.
