Olimpia form and stats

Olimpia have collected 3 points from their Division 1 home games so far after 1-0-0.

Olimpia are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-4 away versus Libertad. Before that game this club had gone six consecutive league meetings without being beaten. A goal frenzy last time out for Olimpia, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Libertad. Fun stuff to watch! Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Silva for missing a penalty kick versus Libertad in the 40th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Before that, Olimpia had a home game versus Guarani which ended with a victory 2-0.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Olimpia matches with similar probabilities have ended with 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat (from 4 games).

Olimpia has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
