San Antonio vs Penarol Prediction and Betting Tips | May 6th 2025
San Antonio and Penarol return to action in Group H of the Copa Libertadores when they lock horns at the Estadio Félix Capriles on Tuesday. Diego Aguirre’s men will set out to complete the double over the Bolivian outfit, having secured a 2-0 victory in April’s reverse fixture on home soil.
San Antonio turned in an attacking show of class in the Bolivian top flight last time out as they edged out 10-man Independiente Petrolero 4-2 at the Estadio Dr. Carlos Villegas.
Joaquín Monasterio’s side had failed to win their previous three outings in the league, where they currently sit sixth in the table with eight points from the opening six matches.
San Antonio now turn their focus to the Copa Libertadores, where they have won two of their first three games in Group H, with April’s 2-0 loss against Penarol sandwiched between the two victories.
Penarol, on the other hand, returned to winning ways last Saturday when they held their own to see off Defensor Sporting 1-0 at the Estadio Luis Franzini in the Uruguayan Liga AUF.
This followed a goalless draw against Olimpia in the Copa Libertadores on April 23, a result which saw their four-game winning streak in all competitions come to an end.
Penarol have picked up four points from their opening three games in Group H of the Libertadores to sit third in the table, two points and one place behind Tuesday’s hosts.
