Cerro Porteño – the shape of the team and its analysis: the results are not bad, but there is room for improvement
“The Cyclone” again failed to regain the championship title in its native Paraguay, limiting itself to 2nd position. Still, it also allowed the club to participate in the Copa Libertadores. The results there are quite mediocre. The team lost not only to Fluminense, but also, in the 1st round, to the Chileans; speaking about the home matches, it has taken 4 points (a 0-0 draw in the struggle with the Brazilian opponent and a 1-0 success in the confrontation with Alianza Lima) and lost the advantage, conceding in the 80th minute of the game, in Peru.
Colo-Colo – the shape of the team and its analysis: not the best results can be achieved
“The Eternal Champion”, despite the honourable nickname, did not retain the title in the previous cycle – the club finished it in 3rd place, and it may still lose this time. As for the Copa Libertadores, the Chileans looked solid in qualifying, consistently eliminating Godoy Cruz and Sportivo Trinidense. And they even started the main round with the aforementioned 1-0 score in the match against the Paraguayans. Still, then they lost both matches to the Brazilians and ended in draws the confrontations with the Peruvians twice. As a result, now the team needs to win on the away field, even without a couple of leaders.
