Game Prediction
The 4th round of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores will bring a meeting between Caracas and Peñarol on May 8, 2024. The Venezuelan club hopes to leave last place, but the Uruguayan opponent, which is still eager to compete for the play-offs, needs points so as not to let Rosario Central lead.
Key statistics and trends:

- * This is the worst team in the group, with 1 point and 2 goals scored in 3 matches.

- * The club from Montevideo scored at least once in 8 previous matches.
Caracas – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club failed in 2024
“The Reds from Avila” are the vice-champion of the country. Still, that was in the previous cycle; speaking about the new one, the club, having taken 2 victories and gained 12 points in 13 rounds, did not make it to the play-offs, finishing in 11th position. As expected, the representative of Venezuela is playing poorly in the Copa Libertadores. It started with crushing defeats made by Atlético Mineiro at the home arena (1-4) and in Uruguay (0-5). Nevertheless, the previous round could even have brought a success in the home battle against Rosario Central, but everything ended in a 1-1 draw with a clear advantage for the Argentine club.
Peñarol – the shape of the team and its analysis: there is a noticeable dependence on the stadium factor
“The Black and Gold” got off to a good start in the national Primera and hopes to finally reach the title there, the 54th one in history and only the first since 2021. The home match in the Copa Libertadores against the Venezuelan opponent turned out to be a benefit: the final score was 5-0 by the 64th minute of the game. Still, the club turned out to be slightly weaker than the opponent, losing with a 0-1 score to Rosario Central and with a 2-3 result to Atletico Mineiro outside native Uruguay.
