The reigning champion of Brazil, Atletico Mineiro welcomes the Ecuadorian Emelec, who will try to surprise the host and qualify for the first time beyond this stage since 2015. In the first game in Ecuador it was 1-1 and it seemed that Atletico Mineiro is much more satisfied with this result, after they took the lead with Ademir's goal, Atletico MG closed down and left the field initiative to Emelec, who managed to equalize from the penalty spot, but before the end of the game, Hulk missed the penalty. Emelec missed the chance to win a good result at home and now they have a very difficult visit to Belo Horizonte, and in the previous 17 duels in Brazil in the Copa Libertadores, they have only one triumph.

Emelec plays well at home, but away from home they don't play so convincingly and I think everyone in the club is aware that it will be difficult to knock out the Brazilian champions. Atletico coach MG Mohamed rested several key players in the duel with Juventude, which Atletico won 2-1 away from home, and although he will play tonight without Allan, who received a red card in Ecuador, Mineiro will have 11 very high-quality players on the field, led by veteran Hulk. Atletico MG is very strong when they play in front of their audience, they have a strong team full of very experienced players and they will hardly allow any surprises. Last year, Atletico MG was eliminated by Palmeiras in the semi-finals, even though they were the better team in both games, so I think that luck can look at them this season and that they are one of the favourites to win the strongest South American competition.

My prediction;

Outcome: Atletico MG to win -1.5

The Paraguayan soccer champion, Libertad, will seek revenge at home and secure their classification against Athletico PR at the Defensores del Chaco stadium, for the return of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Libertad will have to overcome the defeat they suffered last Tuesday by 2-1 in their visit to Paranaense, who are in second place in the championship in their country. The 'Furacao' will arrive in the Paraguayan capital encouraged by the advantage they won in the first leg,In addition, they climbed to second place in Brazilian football on Saturday after beating leader Palmeiras 2-0, champion in the last two editions of the regional tournament. Paranaense's coach, Luiz Felipe Scolari, has given priority to the Libertadores, in which he seeks to eliminate Libertad, and for which he reserved the starters. Scolari is doing a great job at Paranense, he is a great coach and tactical mastermind, we saw that in his last game against Palmeiras despite total dominance and high ball possession, his team managed to beat one of the strongest teams in South America 2-0 on their soil. Paraguayan football is certainly not at the level of Brazilian football, so I'm a little surprised by the odds that Libertad is the favourite to win, while we have odds of 3.6 on Athletico PR, on a team that hasn't lost 13 games in a row and has even 10 wins?! I think +0 on Athletico PR is a great bet, they know how to play on the counter-attack and I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to win tonight.

My prediction;

Outcome: Athletico PR +0

巴西的卫冕冠军米内罗竞技迎战厄瓜多尔人埃梅勒克，埃梅勒克将试图给东道主一个惊喜，并自2015年以来首次出线。在与厄瓜多尔的第一场比赛中，比分是1比1，米内罗竞技似乎对这个结果更加满意，在他们凭借阿德米尔的进球取得领先后，米竞技将场上主动权交给了埃梅莱克，后者成功地利用点球扳平比分，但在比赛结束前，胡尔克罚失点球。埃梅莱克错过了在主场取得好成绩的机会，现在他们要面对贝洛奥里藏特的比赛非常艰难，在此前的17场巴西解放者杯比赛中，他们只取得了一次胜利。

埃梅勒克在主场踢得很好，但在客场他们的表现就不那么令人信服了，我想俱乐部的每个人都意识到要淘汰巴西冠军是很困难的。马竞主帅MG·默罕默德在与尤文图德的对决中休息了几名关键球员，最终马竞在客场2-1战胜尤文图德，尽管他今晚将在没有阿兰的情况下出战，但米内罗将有11名高质量球员上场，其中包括老将胡尔克。当米竞技在观众面前比赛时，他们是非常强大的，他们有一个强大的团队，充满了非常有经验的球员，他们不会允许任何惊喜。去年，米竞技在半决赛中被帕尔梅拉斯淘汰，尽管他们在两场比赛中都是更好的球队，所以我认为运气会在本赛季眷顾他们，他们是赢得这一最强南美赛事的热门球队之一。

我的预测;

结果:米竞技以-1.5取胜

巴拉圭足球冠军“解放者”将在国内寻求复仇，并在查科捍卫者体育场(Defensores del Chaco stadium)与竞技体育公司(Athletico PR)争夺联赛席位，争取重返南美解放者杯16强。自由队必须克服上周二客场2-1击败帕拉纳塞的失败，帕拉纳塞目前在他们的国家排名第二。由于在首回合比赛中取得的优势，“Furacao”将在鼓舞下抵达巴拉圭首都。此外，他们在周六以2比0击败了前两届巴西足球锦标赛冠军帕尔梅拉斯后，攀升至巴西足坛第二名。帕拉纳塞的教练路易斯·费利佩·斯科拉里(Luiz Felipe Scolari)优先考虑了解放者队，他试图淘汰解放者队，并为解放者队保留了首发球员。斯科拉里在帕拉纳塞做得很好，他是一个伟大的教练和战术大师，我们看到在他的上一场对阵帕尔梅拉斯的比赛中，尽管有完全的统治力和高球控球，他的球队还是在他们的土地上2-0击败了南美最强的球队之一。巴拉圭足球的水平当然比不上巴西足球，所以我对Libertad夺冠的几率有点惊讶，而我们对Athletico PR的赔率是3.6，这支球队连输13场都没有，甚至赢了10场?!我认为竞技队PR的+0是一个很好的赌注，他们知道如何打反击，如果他们今晚赢了，我不会感到惊讶。
