Cerro Porteno vs Palmeiras Prediction and Betting Tips | May 7th 2025

The action continues in the Copa Libertadores as Cerro Porteno and Palmeiras go head-to-head at the Estadio La Nueva Olla on Wednesday. The Brazilian outfit, who have won their last five games against the hosts, will look to extend this dominant run and maintain their 100% record in Group G.

Cerro Porteno were left disappointed last Saturday when they fell to a 2-1 loss against Olimpia after giving up a half-time lead in the Paraguayan top-flight clash.

Before that, Diego Hernán Martínez’s men were on a five-game unbeaten run, picking up three wins and two draws while scoring nine goals and conceding four in that time.

Cerro Porteno turn their sights to the Copa Libertadores, where they kicked off their campaign with a 4-2 victory over Bolivar on April 1 before picking up one point from their subsequent two matches.

Palmeiras, on the other hand, have won each of their opening three games in Group G, scoring seven goals and shipping four, to collect nine points and sit top of the table, five points and two places above Wednesday’s hosts.

This has been in keeping with their solid start to the new Brasileiro Serie A campaign, where they have picked up 16 points from the first seven games to lead the way at the top of the league standings.

Palmeiras journey to the Estadio La Nueva Olla fresh off the back of a 1-0 win over Vasco da Gama, securing their ninth victory in 10 games — with a 1-0 loss against Bahia in April being the exception.
