This match was marked in the calendar a long time ago by club members of both squads, as it's the premier Division 1 fixture of the season. Both Olimpia and Libertad are looking for a bright start to their league season.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Olimpia have less rest than Libertad in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Copa Libertadores game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Cesar Vallejo, was also a home game here at Estadio Manuel Ferreira. The away team is better rested.
Olimpia form and stats
Last season, Olimpia's league statistics were 10 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, providing 2nd place in the Division 1. In these 18 matches they scored 34 goals and conceded 23. Appearing as the home team in the previous season Olimpia produced 4-3-2 (win-draw-lost) with 19 goals and 13 conceded.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Copa Libertadores game versus Atletico Nacional in only four days. This game is also played here at Estadio Manuel Ferreira.
Libertad form and stats
Last season was a triumph for Libertad in the national league as they took home the Division 1 trophy. The championship was secured after 12 wins, 2 draws and only 4 defeats. As this is an away game, it's natural to look at the stats for away matches last season: Won 7, drew 0 and lost 2.
Head 2 Head
