THE PREDICTION

Penarol will have home advantage in the first leg of this Copa Sudamericana semi-final against Brazilian side Athletico Paranaense. The hosts head into the game in good form, unbeaten in their last nine matches in all competitions, winning six of those. Athletico Paranaense meanwhile, are on the back of successive wins in both league and cup, so will be looking to make it three on the spin with a Copa Sudamericana triumph. However, being away from home they will likely deploy a cautious approach and look to hit Penarol on the break when possible. Little is expected to separate the two sides here and it would be no surprise if this encounter petered out into a draw, with everything to play for heading into the second leg in Brazil.
