In the first leg of the Copa Libertadores Round of 8, Paranhos faced the Students in their own stadium. Although Paranhos has been struggling in the league recently, they have always shown amazing strength in the Copa Libertadores. In particular, they have won all of their last four home matches in the Copa Libertadores, making a home win the obvious choice. (The exciting matchup will be shown live on TVB myTV Super on Friday at 8:30 a.m.)
At Paranhos is the famous coach Scolari, who is known as the "Master of the Cup". He has led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup and 2013 Intercontinental Cup of Nations, helped Portugal reach the 2004 European Cup final, and won the AFC Champions League during his tenure at FC Guangzhou. Under the leadership of Scolari, Paranhos has won three and drawn one of their last four matches in the Copa Libertadores, and their overall strength is not to be underestimated.
On the other hand, Argentina's student team has been in a slump recently, with only one win in their last six matches, and their last four road trips ended in losses. The comparison between the two teams is very telling. It is expected that the Students will have a hard time resisting Paraníns' offense, and Paraníns is expected to win at home.
