Cerro Porteno hosts Atletico Penarol at the Estadio General Pablo Rojas in this Copa Libertadores match. The home team are top of the group with four points and remain the only unbeaten team in the group. The visitors are just a point behind in second place with a win and a loss so far. Cerro Porteno are having a great season in the Paraguayan Primera Division and are currently in second position just a point below the leaders. They have only lost once in their last eight matches across all competitions. Cerro Porteno have an excellent home record winning six of their last seven matches with just one loss. Their last match in this competition was a resounding 3-1 home win against Argentinian side Colon Santa. Much of Cerro Porteno success at home is due to their miserly defence as they have kept clean sheets in four of their last six matches.

Penarol are not having great season in the Uruguay Primera Division as they are currently in 7th position after 10 matches. They did however an a good 1-0 away win in their last match against Montevideo City. Cerro Porteno are unbeaten in their last four matches, winning three and drawing one. They had a 2-1 home win over Olimpia Asuncion in their last match in this competition. This result was a welcome relief as they lost their first match. A second loss for any team in the group will make it very difficult to qualify as there are only six matches played in the group. This is the third meeting between these sides with Penarol winning the last two after Cerro Porteno won the first match.
