Looking at their league matches, they have played nine matches so far and they have not found a win in the last five. Currently, the team stands fifth on the league table with 13 points to their name.
Colon has earned their first win in this season’s Copa Libertadores in their first match itself. They played against Penarol, in which Colon scored two goals while Penarol could score none, ending the match with 1-2 FT score.
Colon and Cerro Porteno are in the Group G of the Copa Libertadores in which, with the win in the last match, Colon has secured the first position. Looking at the recent matches the teams have played, Cerro Porteno is the better team of the two. They have got seven wins in the last ten matches.
Cerro Porteno has the advantage of playing in their home ground, where they have won in the last eight matches and six of the matches have ended with the team scoring over 1.5 goals. The visitors have not had the best results in the recent away matches. They have only two wins to show from the last ten.
The match will most likely end in a win for Cerro Porteno. The host has scored most of their goals in the second half of the match and can be expected to score so in this match as well.
