Olimpia's last game was hosting Cerro Porteño (placed 1st) and winning 2-0. González has scored in three games in a row. Outstanding!
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Sportivo Ameliano in a game that was won 2-0.This is expected to be a close game, with Olimpia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

As for guarding their own goal, Olimpia have only let in 1 goal at home.
Cerro Porteño form and stats

The attacking players of Cerro Porteño have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.
Cerro Porteño lost away at Olimpia (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Until that loss this side had taken at least a draw from six league fixtures in a row.
Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Nacional Asunción.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cerro Porteño playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 3 Porteño wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
Low-scoring game? 9 of this club's last 11 league matches have had zero, one or two goals.
It's not easy to score on Cerro Porteño as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Unexpectedly enough, the hosting team have scored at least one goal in every league game they've played since NOT scoring against today's opposing team; Olimpia - Cerro Porteño 0-4 twelve game weeks ago. Carrizo (Cerro Porteño) and Silva (Olimpia) were sent off when these sides met previously this season. Will it be as short-tempered this time?

The games between these sides have sometimes been aggressive, having seen 7 red cards from the last ten duels.
