Sol de América hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 19 points and a 10th position in the Division 1 table. Visiting Guaireña holds 6th place with 27 pts.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Copa Sudamericana match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Universidad Catolica, was also a home game here at Estadio Luís Alfonso Giagni. The away team is better rested.

When playing at home in the Division 1, Sol de América have managed 4 wins, 2 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 11 games.

América are confident in defense, having played 186 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

The spoils were shared in América's previous game, also at home. Visiting Universidad Catolica travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Before that match, a Division 1 win away at Libertad.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

There will be little rest for América after this match as they are travelling to Universidad Catolica for a Copa Sudamericana game in only three days.

Guaireña form and stats

Guaireña have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Division 1, after 1-6-4 (11 played). Visiting Guaireña has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Guaireña go into this game after a win, the home game against Olimpia that ended 2-1. A 0-3 loss hosting Libertad before that.

F. Romero came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Olimpia last time out, making the manager T. Duarte feel like a tactical genius. Late drama in the previous game, when F. Romero scored the winning goal seven minutes into stoppage time to defeat Olimpia.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Guaireña in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Guaireña, three draws and zero defeats.

Guaireña have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 12 goals have been scored. Guaireña have conceded 18 goals in these games.
