The fans are hoping that Olimpia will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Division 1 game against Guairena. Ahead of that match, Olimpia lost 0-1 at home to Delfin.

Heartbreak for Olimpia in their last match as Guairena's F. Romero scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Sportivo San Lorenzo form and stats

Sportivo San Lorenzo, who have the fewest scored goals (18) in Division 1, have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Division 1, after 0-2-9 (11 played).

Sportivo delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Nacional Asuncion in their previous match; a Division 1 game. Ahead of that match was the victory versus General Diaz at their stadium, the result 1-0.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Sportivo played away with similar odds. This revealed four games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected four times.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Sportivo manager C. Martínez Medina has some worries about the defense as 26 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Sportivo San Lorenzo - Olimpia 2-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: eight - two - zero (Olimpia wins - draws - Sportivo San Lorenzo wins). As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
