THE PREDICTION
After taking the lead in the first leg of this semi-final first leg Athletico Paranaense were initially pegged back by Penarol, only to score a winner in the second half to emerge 1-2 victors in Montevideo. With two away goals and a one-goal advantage under their belts, the Brazilians will be confident of finishing the job at Arena da Baixada. However, Penarol have found the net five times across their two away fixtures played in the knockout stage thus far, so any complacency from the hosts will see them punished. However, with Penarol having no choice but to deploy an ultra-attacking playstyle, Athletico Paranaense should be afforded a number of clear-cut chances in front of goal and provided they are clinical in front of goal, then they should emerge triumphant in this second-leg, booking their place in the final, although backing both teams to score is worth consideration.
