Guaireña form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Guaireña so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-4 (win-draw-lose). Guaireña has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Two travels in a row for Guaireña, whose manager Theiler could celebrate last time after the Copa Paraguay win against 3 de Noviembre.

A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Sportivo Luqueno in the Division 1.

A new game in only three days for Guaireña, the Division 1 home match versus Tacuary. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Guaireña as they have only managed to score 9 times from 11 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Guaireña have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The two duelists also met each other previously this campaign: Guaireña - Libertad 0-2. Statistics for the previous ten meetings featuring these two participants are: six wins for Libertad, one draw and three wins for Guaireña. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
