Monagas vs Deportivo Pereira Prediction and Betting Tips | June 6th 2023

Monagas and Deportivo Pereira square off at the Estadio Monumental de Maturín in Group F of the Copa Libertadores on Tuesday.

The home side are currently rooted to the bottom of the table, having failed to win their opening four group matches.

Monagas failed to get their Copa Libertadores campaign up and running last time out as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Colo Colo on home turf.

With that result, Jhonny Ferreira’s men snapped their run of four consecutive defeats across all competitions, including three straight losses in the Venezuelan top flight, where they sit ninth after 14 rounds of matches.

With just two points from their first four Copa Libertadores outings, Monagas are currently rooted to the bottom of Group F, three points behind third-placed Colo Colo in the Copa Sudamericana qualifying spot.

Meanwhile, Deportivo Pereira made it two wins from two in Group F as they edged out Boca Juniors 1-0 at the Estadio Hernan Ramirez Villegas last time out.

Alejandro Restrepo’s men are now unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions, claiming four wins and one draw since April’s 2-0 loss against Deportivo La Equidad.

With seven points from a possible 12, Deportivo Pereira are currently second in Group F, only below first-placed Boca Juniors on goal difference.
