The two top teams in Group B of the Copa Libertadores face off on Match Day 3 of the competition. Paraguayan side Libertad takes on Athletico Paranaense from Brazil with both sides on four points. Libertad leads the group by virtue of a superior goal difference. They come to this game straight from a 4-0 win over 12 de Octubre in the Paraguayan league, which was their fifth straight game to produce over 2.5 goals. The hosts have scored two or more goals in four of the last five matches, and have only failed to score once in that run. At home, they are unbeaten in 10 straight matches and have registered nine wins in that run. In those 10 home matches, they have scored two or more goals in nine, while keeping seven clean sheets. They are also unbeaten in five Copa Libertadores matches at home.

Athletico Paranaense did not start the season really well but going into this game they have some semblance of stability. They are coming from two straight wins and a run of three wins in the last five matches. Their 1-0 win over Flamengo in their last game, in the Brazilian Serie A, handed them the second clean sheet in five matches. They’ve lost two of their last five matches, and failed to score in two while they have scored more than a goal in just one of the five matches. When playing away from home, Athletico Paranaense are not the strongest either; they have just one win in their last five matches on the road. Going into this one, they have failed to score in three of their last five matches away from home.
