The upcoming Copa Libertadores match on Thursday will see Fluminense square off against Cerro Porteno.
**Fluminense**
Coming off a 2-1 defeat in their last Serie A game against São Paulo, Fluminense is eager to return to form. In that match, they maintained 51% possession and had 7 shots on goal, with 2 on target, but São Paulo managed 15 shots, 8 of which were on target, leading to their win. Fluminense has recently shown a tendency to be involved in matches where both teams don’t score, with such outcomes occurring in 5 of their last 6 games. This trend might continue into their next match.
**Cerro Porteno**
Cerro Porteno drew 1-1 with Alianza Lima in their last Copa Libertadores game, with Juan Iturbe scoring their sole goal. The team’s recent games have generally featured few goals, with an average of just 1.67 goals per match in their last six outings, and Cerro Porteno contributing 0.67 goals per game during this period.
**Head to Head**
The last encounter between these teams in the Copa Libertadores on April 25, 2024, ended in a 0-0 draw, showing a tightly contested match.
**Prediction**
Considering the current dynamics and past performances, Fluminense seems better positioned to score in the upcoming match, while Cerro Porteno may find it challenging to get on the scoreboard. Predicting a match outcome, it seems likely that Fluminense could secure a 2-0 victory by the end of the game.
