Guaraní, who have the most clean sheets (14) in Division 1, have played 11 Division 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-6-1 (wins-draws-losses). In general it's been a long time since Guaraní tasted defeat here at Estadio Defensores del Chaco, as they have taken at least one point from their last 14 home games in the league.

Happy days for Guaraní in their previous game, a Division 1 match away at Guairena that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that match, a win away at Libertad.

Olimpia form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (54) in Division 1, on their Division 1 travels is 6 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

It's the second away game in a row for Olimpia, but there's smiles all around after the 4-2 victory versus Sol de America in the Division 1 last time out. Before that, Olimpia travelled to Cerro Porteno (after extra-time, 1-4 on penalties) and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Sol de America was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Olimpia have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 23 goals from 11 away matches. Olimpia have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
