This could be an interesting match as Nacional Asunción have their presumed home advantage while Guaraní are ahead 16 points in the Division 1 table.
The hosts Nacional saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Division 1. That game was an away game at Sportivo Luqueño, so at least Nacional Asunción are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
