Match begins: 23:15 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Dr. Nicolás Leoz (10000 seats)

It's the very first fixture of the new campaign for Libertad and Guaireña. The canvas is blank, the opportunities unlimited.

Insights:
  • Libertad have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Libertad have scored more than double the goals of Guaireña.

There haven't been much to rest for the hosting team, as they were involved in a Division 1 game only four days back. That game was an away game at Guarani, so at least Libertad are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Libertad as they are travelling to their away game against Sol de América in the Division 1. That match is four days after this one.
