Guaraní have performed better than River Plate so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Division 1 match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Libertad.
Guaraní form and stats
1 victory, 3 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Guaraní have to build on here at Estadio Rogelio Lorenzo Livieres in the Division 1. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Guaraní enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Libertad's place. The match ended 3-1 with B. Merlini, R. Bobadilla and J. Morel scoring. In the match before that, Guaraní hosted General Diaz and drew the game 0-0.
There will be little rest for Guaraní after this match as they are travelling to Sportivo San Lorenzo for a Division 1 game in only four days.
Guaraní have scored 2 goals here in 5 league matches, a depressing statistic. Guaraní are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Rogelio Lorenzo Livieres in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.
River Plate form and stats
1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of River Plate playing as the away team in the Division 1 this season.
River Plate play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Sportivo Luqueno (placed 9th). A 0-2 loss hosting Cerro Porteno before that.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the River manager C. Ayala Gavilán as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Sol de America.
The attacking power of River when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. River have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
