Image
  May 15, 2025 Once Caldas - GV San José Estadio Palogrande, Manizales, Colombia On Thursday, May 15, 2025, Colombian Once Caldas will face Bolivian GV San José in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with different playing styles promises an interesting confrontation and the possibility of extending several remarkable streaks. Once Caldas has won its last three matches in the 2025 CONMEBOL Sudamericana, the best winning streak for the "Albos" in a single continental competition. Moreover, after winning three of their matches in the current Sudamericana, they will seek to reach four victories in a single edition of a CONMEBOL tournament for the first time since the Libertadores they conquered in 2004 (6 wins). The Colombian side thus has an opportunity to return to numbers from their most glorious era. Colombian teams have recorded just one defeat in 30 home matches against Bolivian opponents in CONMEBOL competitions during the 21st century (20 wins, 9 draws)....

Image
  May 15, 2025 Racing Club - SC Corinthians Estadio Osvaldo Roberto, Montevideo, Uruguay On Thursday, May 15, 2025, Uruguayan Racing will face Brazilian Corinthians in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with different playing styles promises an interesting confrontation and the possibility of extending several remarkable streaks. Corinthians has won four of the five matches it has played against Racing in CONMEBOL competitions (1 draw), although in their last visit to the Uruguayan team in the Sudamericana they failed to secure a victory (1-1 in the group stage in 2024). The Brazilian side thus has an excellent record against their Thursday opponent. Corinthians has lost only one of the 12 matches it has played when visiting Uruguayan opponents in CONMEBOL competitions (6 wins, 5 draws), though the only defeat was in this decade and in the Sudamericana (0-4 against Peñarol in 2021). The "Timão" thus has excellent results on Uruguayan soil. Corinthians is th...

Image
  May 15, 2025   Atlético Mineiro - Caracas FC   Estádio Mineirão, Belo Horizonte, Brazil On Thursday, May 15, 2025, Brazilian Atlético Mineiro will face Venezuelan Caracas in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with remarkable statistical trends promises an interesting confrontation and the possibility of extending several impressive streaks. Atlético Mineiro has won each of the six home matches it has played against teams from Venezuela in CONMEBOL tournaments. The "Galo" maintains a 100% success rate against clubs from four different countries in these competitions when playing at home, including Peru (4 wins), Ecuador (4 wins), and Chile (7 wins). The Brazilian side thus has an excellent record against South American opponents at their stadium. Atlético Mineiro and Caracas drew 1-1 in their last encounter in the 2025 Sudamericana. The only instance when the "Rojo" remained unbeaten in more than one match against Brazilian opponents in a single edi...

DEFENSA Y JUSTICIA AIMS FOR CLEAN SHEET, UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA RELIES ON TOP SCORER AND COUNTERATTACKS

Image
  May 14, 2025 Defensa y Justicia -  Universidad Católica Estadio Norberto Tomaghello, Florencio Varela, Argentina On Wednesday, May 14, 2025, Argentine Defensa y Justicia will face Ecuadorian Universidad Católica in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with different playing styles promises an interesting confrontation and an opportunity to extend several remarkable streaks. Defensa y Justicia has only one defeat in six home games against Ecuadorian teams in CONMEBOL competitions (3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss). That single defeat came in the group stage of the 2022 Sudamericana against LDU Quito (1-2). The Argentine side thus has an excellent record against Ecuadorian opponents on home soil. After not conceding goals in their last home game in the 2025 Sudamericana (0-0 with Vitória), Defensa y Justicia will seek to play consecutive home matches without conceding for the third time in CONMEBOL competitions. This achievement has not happened for the Argentine team f...

FLUMINENSE BANKS ON EXCELLENT RECORD AGAINST CHILEAN TEAMS AND FIRST HALVES WITHOUT CONCEDING

Image
  May 14, 2025   Fluminense FC - Unión Española   Estádio Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil On Wednesday, May 14, 2025, Brazilian Fluminense will face Chilean Unión Española in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with remarkable statistical tendencies promises an interesting confrontation at the iconic Maracanã. Fluminense has lost only one of the 13 matches they have played against Chilean teams in CONMEBOL competitions (6 wins, 6 draws, 1 loss), and holds an active streak of 11 matches without defeat (5 wins, 6 draws). The only defeat came away, in November 2005 (0-2 against Universidad Católica). The Brazilian side can thus rely on its excellent historical record. Unión Española has lost only one of the last five matches they have played as the visiting team against Brazilian opponents in CONMEBOL competitions (1 win, 3 draws). The Chilean team won the most recent of these duels - although it was in the 2014 Libertadores (1-0 against Botafogo). Unión can ...

CERRO LARGO RELIES ON HEADERS AGAINST BRAZILIAN DOMINANCE, VITÓRIA EXTENDS AWAY REVIVAL

Image
  May 14, 2025 Cerro Largo FC -  EC Vitória Estadio Ubilla, Melo, Uruguay On Wednesday, May 14, 2025, Uruguayan Cerro Largo will face Brazilian EC Vitória in the Copa Sudamericana. The match promises an interesting confrontation between teams with different playing styles and historical trends. Vitória has lost one of their last four away matches in CONMEBOL tournaments (1 win, 2 draws), after having fallen in six of the seven previous encounters they played away from home in these competitions. The Brazilian team has thus shown a significant improvement in their away form. Brazilian teams maintain an unbeaten streak of six consecutive matches without losing when visiting Uruguayan opponents in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, having won five of those encounters. The last home victory in this history dates back to May 2021, when Peñarol defeated Corinthians 4-0 in the group stage. Vitória can thus continue this impressive series of their compatriots. Cerro Largo is one of two...

Image
  May 13, 2025   Sportivo Luqueño - Atlético Grau   Estadio Feliciano Cáceres, Luque, Paraguay On Tuesday, May 13, 2025, Paraguayan Sportivo Luqueño will face Peruvian Atlético Grau in the Copa Sudamericana. The match offers a clash of different playing styles and interesting statistical curiosities. Sportivo Luqueño will welcome a Peruvian team in continental competitions for the first time in history. The "Auriazul" has already defeated clubs from eight of the 10 CONMEBOL countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Venezuela). The Paraguayan side now has an opportunity to add Peru to its list and expand its collection of international scalps. After remaining unbeaten in consecutive CONMEBOL competition matches for the first time, thanks to a 0-0 draw with Grêmio in the last round of the Sudamericana, Atlético Grau will look to play consecutive matches without conceding a goal for the first time in its tournament history. The Peruvi...

Image
  May 13, 2025   Academia Puerto Cabello - FBC Melgar   Estadio Complejo Deportivo Socialista, Puerto Cabello, Venezuela On Tuesday, May 13, 2025, Venezuelan Puerto Cabello will face Peruvian Melgar in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with different ambitions promises an interesting confrontation and the possibility of extending several remarkable streaks. Melgar has already defeated Puerto Cabello in this edition of the Sudamericana (1-0 at home) and will seek to win consecutive games against Venezuelan teams for the first time in CONMEBOL competitions, after nine previous direct encounters. The Peruvian side thus has an opportunity to achieve its small milestone. Puerto Cabello is experiencing its longest unbeaten streak as a home team in CONMEBOL competitions after avoiding defeat in their three most recent matches (2 wins, 1 draw). Now, the Venezuelans will aim for their first consecutive home victories at the continental level. Puerto Cabello is on...

Image
  May 13, 2025   Grêmio - Godoy Cruz   Arena do Grêmio, Porto Alegre, Brazil On Tuesday, May 13, 2025, Brazilian Grêmio will face Argentine Godoy Cruz in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with different playing styles promises an interesting confrontation and possible extension of several remarkable streaks. Grêmio is unbeaten against Godoy Cruz in CONMEBOL tournaments after three encounters, with two victories and one draw. The only one of these matches that was played in Brazil was in the return leg of the 2017 Libertadores round of 16, when the Tricolor won 2-1. The Brazilian side will thus want to confirm its dominance over the Argentine opponent. Grêmio has lost only one of the 10 matches it has played as the home team against Argentine teams in the group phases of CONMEBOL tournaments, with six wins and three draws. That single defeat occurred 27 years ago, when River Plate won 3-2 in the 1998 Copa Mercosur. This impressive record gives the home tea...

GENERATIONAL CLASH IN THE ANDES: EXPERIENCED NACIONAL POTOSÍ HOSTS YOUNG BOSTON RIVER

Image
  May 13, 2025   Nacional Potosí - Boston River   Estadio Víctor Agustín Ugarte, Potosí, Bolivia On Tuesday, May 13, 2025, Bolivian Nacional Potosí will face Uruguayan Boston River in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with distinctly different age structures promises an interesting confrontation in the Bolivian highlands. Nacional Potosí is enjoying its best unbeaten streak playing at home in CONMEBOL tournaments, having won three of their last four home matches in the Sudamericana (1 draw). The matchup with Boston River will be the first in which they host a Uruguayan team in continental competitions, adding an element of exclusivity to the encounter. After scoring two goals against Paraguayan Guaraní in the recent 2-2 draw in the 2025 Sudamericana, Nacional Potosí will look to score in three consecutive matches of the same CONMEBOL tournament for the first time in their history. Boston River has the youngest average starting lineup in the 2025 CONMEBOL...

DRAW SPECIALIST CIENCIANO HOSTS CARACAS WITH EXCEPTIONAL COMEBACK ABILITY

Image
  May 8, 2025   Cienciano - Caracas   Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, Cusco, Peru On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Peruvian Cienciano will face Venezuelan Caracas in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage. This will be the fourth meeting between these teams in South American cup competitions, with the head-to-head record completely even - each team has one win and one draw. Interestingly, the home team has never lost in these mutual encounters. Cienciano is going through a remarkable streak in CONMEBOL competitions. The Peruvian side has drawn their last four games, the same number they had recorded in their previous 21 matches combined in these tournaments (7 wins, 10 losses). The "Paprika Men," as the team is nicknamed due to their red jerseys, are confirming their current role as specialists in draw results. Caracas excels at gaining points from losing positions. The Venezuelan team leads the 2025 CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage with five points earned after falling b...

FLUMINENSE TARGETS RECORD STREAK IN BOLIVIA AGAINST GV SAN JOSÉ

Image
  May 8, 2025 GV San José - Fluminense On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Bolivian GV San José will face Brazilian Fluminense in a return match of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage. The duel offers an interesting confrontation between teams with different playing styles and a specific history of mutual encounters. Fluminense has won five of their seven games against Bolivian opposition in CONMEBOL competitions, including the crushing 5-0 victory over GV San José in the first phase of the group in 2025. However, the Brazilians should be cautious – the Bolivians managed to defeat "Flu" in the remaining two matches, both of which were played on home soil. The "Tricolor" from Rio de Janeiro is experiencing their longest unbeaten run away from home in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana (4 matches, 2 wins, 2 draws), equaling a similar streak from 2009 (2 wins, 2 draws). Fluminense will be looking to extend this streak to five matches for the first time in the club's history in...

EXPLOSIVE HURACÁN SEEKS BREAKTHROUGH DOUBLE AGAINST URUGUAYAN RACING

Image
  May 8, 2025   Racing - Huracán   Estadio Parque Osvaldo Roberto, Montevideo, Uruguay On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Uruguayan Racing will face Argentine Huracán in a return match of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage. Both teams enter the encounter with different ambitions and interesting statistical data that suggest a potentially exciting showdown. Huracán thrashed Racing 5-0 when the teams met in the current edition of the Sudamericana on Argentine soil. If "Globo," as the Argentine side is nicknamed, manages to win again, they will achieve consecutive victories against Uruguayan opponents in CONMEBOL tournaments for the first time in their history. Racing has minimal experience hosting Argentine clubs in CONMEBOL competitions. Their only such match was played last year when they defeated Argentinos Juniors 2-1 in the group stage of the Sudamericana. The home advantage could therefore be a key factor for the Uruguayan team in the upcoming clash. Huracán's offensiv...

Image
  May 7, 2025   Atlético Grau - Grêmio   On Wednesday, May 7, 2025, Peruvian side Atlético Grau will face Brazilian Grêmio in a return match of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage. The duel between the home team and the Brazilian favorite promises an interesting confrontation of different playing styles and impressive statistical trends. Grêmio has won their last three games against Peruvian opposition in CONMEBOL competitions, including the first match-up with Atlético Grau in the 2025 Sudamericana (2-0). The "Imortal," as the Brazilian team is nicknamed, can reach four wins in a row against Peruvian teams in continental tournaments for the first time in their history. The Brazilian side also boasts an excellent record in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage, where they have not lost any of their nine games so far (7 wins, 2 draws). Only three teams in the history of the competition have achieved a longer unbeaten run in this phase of the tournament: LDU Quito (11...
