It's a new born Division 1 campaign and Sol de América are impatient to get competitive here at Estadio Defensores del Chaco. Cerro Porteño are guesting and this could be a spellbinding season premiere.
- Cerro Porteño have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
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.
It's no vacation for neither Sol de América nor Cerro Porteño 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.
Sol de América form and stats
Last season, Sol de América's league results were 3 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses, resulting in 9th spot in the Division 1. From these 18 matches they scored 18 goals and conceded 28.
