Olimpia form and stats

Olimpia have collected 15 points from their Division 1 home games so far after 4-3-2. Olimpia are slowly digging their own grave here at Estadio Luís Alfonso Giagni with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Sportivo Luqueño match.

Olimpia's previous game was a Copa Paraguay match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Guaireña. The home side are looking to build on that result.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Cerro Porteno (0-1).
