JefeBet Prediction
Cerro Porteno vs Libertad have already faced each other this season, and it was a huge victory for Libertad when it defeated its opponent 5-0 at home on Matchday 10. However, at JefeBet, we believe that such a difference is unlikely to happen again, especially because Libertad has already secured the championship, and will save its best players for the crucial three points in the next week’s Copa Libertadores.
