Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Sportivo San Lorenzo & Olimpia face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Paraguay. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sportivo San Lorenzo and Olimpia.
Sportivo San Lorenzo form and stats
Sportivo have reached this Copa Paraguay stage through battling and winning against 12 de Octubre SD. Last season their Copa Paraguay adventure ended in the 3rd round.4 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Sportivo San Lorenzo have to build on here at Estadio Manuel Ferreira in the Division Intermedia.
A nice win for Sportivo San Lorenzo last time playing, versus Atletico Colegiales. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-0 with Quintana, Rivarola, Ojeda and Benitez scoring for the victors. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Sportivo played a great game against Atletico Colegiales and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
Heartbreak before that as Sportivo San Lorenzo lost 1-2 at Deportivo Recoleta's place.The manager Jara will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Deportivo Santani in only four days.
The Sportivo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches.
Olimpia form and stats
Olimpia's mission in Copa Paraguay last season failed in the round of 16.0 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Olimpia playing as the away team in the Division 1 this season.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Olimpia, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus Resistencia.
The game before that, in the Division 1, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Tacuary.A new game in only four days for Olimpia, the Division 1 home match versus Nacional Asuncion. Busy days.
It's early days yet, but Olimpia has scored 2 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Olimpia have managed a streak of 11 consecutive matches without defeat (9-2-0) when facing Sportivo.Top Goalscorers
