Independiente Medellin to Win

We saw six goals in the first duel between these two teams in the group, which is one of the reasons why our second Metropolitanos vs Independiente Medellin prediction is for the match to go over 2.5 total goals.
After all, both of these teams have played some high-scoring games in Copa Libertadores so far, with both teams going over 2.5 total goals in three of their four matches in group stages.

Metropolitanos – Independiente Medellin Preview: News, Form, and Possible Lineups
Read all about the two teams and their latest news ahead of this duel, including the probable Metropolitanos vs Independiente Medellin lineups:
Metropolitanos
With four wins in the last six games, Metropolitanos did well recently in their domestic league, but they are still only fifth in Venezuelan championship right now and already thirteen points behind Puerto Cabello, the league leaders. Meanwhile, Metropolitanos lost all four of their matches in Copa Libertadores this season, so they are already out of the competition with two more games left to be played in group stages.
When it comes to team news, Carlos Cermeno will likely miss the match through injury, while Giovanny Sequera is suspended right now.
Metropolitanos Predicted Lineups:
Schiavone – J. Vargas, Ferro, Moreno, Cova – Bareiro, Laszo, Larotonda – Gomez, F. Vargas, Ortiz
Independiente Medellin
After winning two games in a row in Colombian Apertura, Independiente climbed to the seventh spot in the standings. So, things haven't been going that great for them in their domestic championship, but at least the team has done well in Copa Libertadores so far. Right now, they have seven points, same as Nacional and one point less than Internacional, so they will fight for a spot in the next stage with those two teams, but even if they fail to finish in the top two, they have already secured a place in Copa Sudamericana round of 16.
Meanwhile, the team has no injury concerns at this time, so we will see their best side in this match.
Independiente Medellin Predicted Lineups:
Vasquez – Marulanda, Moreno, Cadavid, Londono – Cambindo, Torres, Alvarado – Cetre, Ibarguen, Pons

Player to Watch: Edwin Cetre
With Independiente Medellin being our favourite to win this match, our player to watch comes from this team and it is their right winger Edwin Cetre.
The Colombian has been in good form this season for his team, especially in their domestic championship where he has five goals and two assists so far. However, Cetre is yet to score in Copa Libertadores and we believe that he can break the ice in this match.
