Cerro Porteno vs SE Palmeiras Prediction 8 May 2025
Added on 06 May, 2025
On the night from Wednesday to Thursday, Cerro Porteño and Palmeiras will meet in a key Copa Libertadores fourth-round clash.
Cerro Porteño, currently second in their group, have picked up four points so far, scoring six goals and conceding five. Their campaign began with an impressive 4-2 win over Bolívar, but was followed by a narrow 0-1 loss to Palmeiras and a 2-2 draw with Sporting Cristal. Domestically, they recently suffered a 1-2 defeat to Olimpia, a result that may raise questions about their current form.
Palmeiras, on the other hand, are showing consistency both at home and in continental competition. They recently edged Vasco 1-0 to top the Brazilian league and have won all three of their Libertadores matches — 3-2 against Sporting Cristal, 1-0 over Cerro Porteño, and another 3-2 victory over Bolívar. Verdao’s ability to grind out results and find goals from various situations makes them a dangerous side in any setting.
Given Cerro Porteño’s urgency to secure points and Palmeiras’ offensive efficiency, this matchup has all the ingredients for both teams to find the net. With the group stage heating up, expect a lively contest where goals on both sides seem more than likely.
