A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Libertad fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Sol de América's 10th place in the table will show on the pitch.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa Libertadores. Thankfully the previous game, versus Independiente Medellin, was also a home game here at Estadio Dr. Nicolás Leoz. The away team is better rested.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Libertad form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Estadio Dr. Nicolás Leoz as Libertad have scored 22 goals to get 22 points from 11 games. The overall stats in the Division 1 are 6-4-1 (wins-draws-losses). Libertad has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Olimpia defeat 73 days ago.
The Libertad fans got no joy from their last match, a Copa Libertadores game also here at Estadio Dr. Nicolás Leoz: A 2-4 defeat against Independiente Medellin. Before that match, a Division 1 win away at Guairena.
A goal frenzy last time out for Libertad, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Independiente Medellin. Fun stuff to watch!

Sol de América form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sol de América, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) away in Division 1, so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 0-5-6 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Sol de América have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the River Plate game.
The supporters enjoyed América's previous game versus Guarani, a Division 1 1-0 win played at home. Before that, Sol de América travelled to Nacional Asunción and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.
N. Viera came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Guarani last time out, making the manager S. Orteman Rodríguez feel like a tactical genius.
