Libertad have less rest than Olimpia in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Copa Libertadores game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Palmeiras, so at least Libertad are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
