Sportivo Luqueño form and stats

Sportivo Luqueño have played 11 Division 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-5-2 (wins-draws-losses).

The Sportivo Luqueño coach López and his crew return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Guairena. Late drama in the game against Guairena as Sportivo were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Charpentier popped out and made it level in the 90th minute. Charpentier was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Guairena after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Before that one, a nice away win at Oriental. A Copa Paraguay match. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
