Metropolitanos vs Independiente Medellin Match Analysis & Prediction
09/06/2023 1:00 am
Metropolitanos and Independiente Medellin will be back in action in the Copa Libertadores when they meet at the UCV Olympic Stadium in Group B on Friday.
Having lost each of their four matches so far, the hosts will be playing just for pride, while the visitors could move into first place with all three points.
Drawn in Group B, Metropolitanos have received a baptism of fire in the continental showpiece, losing each of their opening four matches and suffering an early exit.
After stumbling into the campaign, a run of two wins in their last two matches has put Independiente Medellin back in contention for a spot in the knockout rounds.
The club picked up one point from their opening two matches before claiming a 4-2 victory over Metropolitanos at the Estadio Atanasio Girardot on May 4.
That was followed by a 2-1 comeback win over Nacional three weeks later, when Andres Ibarguen and Deinner Quinones scored to cancel out Diego Rodriguez’s 12th-minute opener.
With just two matches remaining, Sebastian Botero’s side are currently level on seven points with third-placed Nacional and two points behind group leaders Internacional.
Metropolitanos vs. Independiente Medellin Head to head
These two teams have previously met on just one occasion in the Copa Libertadores in May, where Independiente Medellin claimed a 4-2 home victory.
