The first meeting ended 1-1, but the bigger picture favors the Brazilians: Palmeiras have won 10 of the 19 Libertadores meetings between these sides, while Cerro have managed just three wins. More importantly, the market continues to make Palmeiras clear favorites away from home, with major books pricing them around 1.80–1.85. Cerro have home advantage, but Palmeiras know they must win to progress and have the deeper Libertadores pedigree and stronger away profile.
