TV channel and live stream options for Libertad vs Independiente del Valle are listed below. The match is available to watch via Fubo, Fanatiz, and beIN SPORTS Connect in the United States.
Libertad host Independiente del Valle in Group H of the Copa Libertadores, with both Paraguayan and Ecuadorian football's continental ambitions on the line.
Libertad arrive at this fixture in uncertain form. Three defeats from their last five matches, including back-to-back Copa Libertadores losses to Universidad Central and Rosario Central, have left them sitting fourth in the group and under real pressure to perform.
A 3-0 domestic defeat to Rubio Nu compounded a difficult stretch, though they did manage to recover with a 3-2 win over Olimpia in the División Profesional last weekend, showing there is still fight in the squad.
Independiente del Valle, by contrast, come into this match as the group leaders and in strong form. Four wins from their last five fixtures, with victories in both domestic and continental competition, underline their quality.
The Ecuadorians beat Universidad Central 3-1 in the Copa Libertadores in their most recent continental outing, and they have been clinical in front of goal across all competitions this month.
With Independiente del Valle sitting top of Group H and Libertad rooted to the bottom, the home side need a result to keep their Copa Libertadores campaign alive.

Form

Their most recent result was a 3-2 win over Olimpia in the División Profesional on April 25, but that followed a heavy 3-0 defeat to Rubio Nu four days earlier. In the Copa Libertadores specifically, they have lost both recent outings, going down 0-1 to Rosario Central and 3-1 to Universidad Central. Across those five matches, Libertad have scored eight goals and conceded nine, reflecting a side that can create chances but has struggled defensively.
Independiente del Valle have won four and lost one of their last five matches. Their most recent outing was a 2-1 win over Leones del Norte in the Serie A on April 25, and they also beat Delfin 1-0 away three days prior. A 3-1 Copa Libertadores victory over Universidad Central on April 16 was another strong result. Their only defeat in this run was a 2-0 home loss to LDU de Quito in the league. Del Valle have scored nine goals and conceded four across these five games, maintaining a consistent attacking output.
