We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Olimpia form and stats
8-0-0 is the performance here at Manuel Ferreira so far in the Division 1, giving Olimpia a total of 24 from their 8 games here. Outstanding results! Olimpia has won so many consecutive home games (13 in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Manuel Ferreira. We remember; it was Nacional Asuncion.
A good away victory last time out for Olimpia, who won 1-0 against Deportivo Santani (placed 10th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Sportivo Luqueno (0-1).
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Olimpia, as the Division 1 home game vs Deportivo Capiatá is only two days away.
Olimpia are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (22 goals in 8 games). Olimpia have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 4 goals.
Cerro Porteño form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Division 1 travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. The fact that Cerro Porteño have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.
231 minutes! That's how long the Cerro Porteño goalkeeper Juan Angel Espinola Gonzalez and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Cerro Porteño are travelling after their nice 5-0 home win in the Division 1 against Nacional Asuncion (placed 9th). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Sol de America.
As mentioned above, Cerro Porteño was the only team on the pitch versus Nacional Asuncion in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
