This match was marked in the calendar a long time ago by club members of both squads, as it's the first Division 1 game of the season. Both Olimpia and Sol de América are hoping for a good start to their league season.

Insights:
  • Olimpia haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Sol de América have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

This is a match between two teams close to each other, usually meaning more tension and importance.

It's no vacation for neither Olimpia nor Sol de América as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
