National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Olimpia or Guaireña that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Olimpia form and stats
Olimpia's struggle is real here at Estadio Feliciano Cáceres with only 0 points collected from 7 Division 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-0-7. Zero (!) Division 1 points is the sad result after 7 matches here at Estadio Feliciano Cáceres. Can it change today? On the other hand, in the Copa Paraguay, Olimpia has performed like this (both home and away): 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. Olimpia are slowly digging their own grave here at Estadio Feliciano Cáceres with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Sportivo Luqueno match.
Olimpia lost their last game at Cerro Porteno after a 0-1 scoreline.
Preceding that match was a Division 1 defeat to Guarani (1-3).There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Olimpia, as the Division 1 home game vs Sportivo Luqueno is only four days away.
Olimpia have scored 4 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Olimpia with 16 goals conceded in these matches.
Guaireña form and stats
Guaireña's mission in Copa Paraguay last season failed in the quarter-finals.2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Guaireña playing as the away team in the Division 1 this season. When we have look at the Copa Paraguay statistics, we find 2W-1D-0L. This is both home and away. Recent form does not give Guaireña much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Olimpia will be a tough nut to crack.
J. Verdun was the last player to score for the away team. Guaireña haven't scored a league goal in the last 342 minutes.
There might be some fixture complaints from Guaireña as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Division 1 match against Sol de América (0-3).
The game before that, in the Division 1, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Cerro Porteno.The visitors have scored 5 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Guaireña have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Stats for the prior seven meetings between these two contenders are: three wins for Olimpia, two draws and two wins for Guaireña. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
