Libertad is hoping to advance to the quarter-finals of the competition by overcoming Fortaleza, following their successful knockout round playoffs against Tigre. A 2-1 victory at home was followed by a 1-0 away triumph, securing a 3-1 aggregate success over the Argentine Primera Division side. They are aiming for a similar outcome in the round of 16, but they would like to avoid a slow start, as seen in the first leg against Tigre. Although Libertad struggled for home results in the Copa Libertadores, they gained confidence from their victory over Tigre. They head into the game on the back of a 2-0 league triumph, extending their winning run in all competitions to six.On the other hand, Fortaleza has had a commendable run to this stage in the Sudamericana, winning five of their six games en route, with their only loss in the penultimate group game against Estudiantes de Merida. However, their recent form is concerning, as they have suffered three defeats on the trot and four losses in their last five games. Libertad's current form makes them favorites to triumph against Fortaleza, who are currently out of sorts and could start August with a defeat, as they ended July. Odds are good enough!

在季后赛淘汰赛成功击败老虎队之后，自由塔德希望通过战胜福塔莱萨队进入四分之一决赛。在主场2-1大胜之后，客场1-0大胜，以总比分3-1战胜阿根廷甲级联赛球队。他们的目标是在16强中取得类似的结果，但他们希望避免像首回合对阵老虎队那样开局缓慢。虽然Libertad在解放者杯的主场比赛中表现不佳，但他们从战胜老虎队中获得了信心。他们带着联赛2-0的胜利进入比赛，将他们在各项赛事中的连胜纪录扩大到6场。另一方面，福塔莱萨在南美的这一阶段表现可嘉，六场比赛中赢了五场，唯一一场失利是在小组赛倒数第二场对阵梅里达学生队的比赛中。然而，他们最近的状态令人担忧，因为他们在最近的五场比赛中遭遇了三场失利和四场失利。自由塔德目前的状态使他们最有可能战胜福塔莱萨，后者目前状态不佳，可能会在8月以失败开始，就像他们在7月结束一样。机会已经足够好了!
