Libertad host Independiente del Valle in Group H of the Copa Libertadores on April 28, 2026, with kickoff set for 6:00 PM. The match will be available in the United States on Fubo, Fanatiz and beIN SPORTS Connect.
For Libertad, the timing is stark. They sit fourth in Group H and have lost both of their recent Copa Libertadores matches, falling 3-1 to Universidad Central and 0-1 to Rosario Central. They also arrive with one win, one draw and three losses across their last five matches in all competitions, a stretch that includes a 3-0 defeat to Rubio Nu and a 3-2 win over Olimpia in the División Profesional on April 25, 2026. Across those five games, Libertad have scored eight goals and conceded nine. Independiente del Valle are top of the group and have won four of their last five matches, losing once. They beat Universidad Central 3-1 in their most recent continental outing and followed that with a 2-1 victory over Leones del Norte in the Serie A on April 25, 2026.
The contrast is clear enough: Libertad need a result to keep their Copa Libertadores campaign alive, while Independiente del Valle can build on a strong run and protect their place at the top of Group H. That balance makes the first hour of the match likely to say plenty about where both sides go next in the group.
