Palmeiras vs Cerro Port. Prediction 12 August 2026
📢 Palmeiras and Cerro Porteño have already met in the group stage of this year's Copa Libertadores. The final standings turned out to be quite unexpected: the Paraguayan club finished top, while one of the main contenders for the trophy came in second. In the knockout stage the cost of a mistake is significantly higher, so it is especially important for the Brazilians to make use of their home advantage.

In terms of goals, Palmeiras have the advantage - 22 against 8.

⭐ Editor's Pick
According to the bookmakers, Palmeiras are considered the clear favourites for the upcoming match. The Brazilian club are noticeably superior to their opponents in class and at home should control the initiative for most of the playing time. Cerro Porteño away will most likely focus primarily on defence, and getting through to the opposition goal regularly against such opponents will be extremely difficult. That is why our bet is Cerro Porteño not to score. Expected score - 1:0.
