Match begins: 22:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Luís Alfonso Giagni (10200 seats)

Running out at their own ground feels comfortable and good for Sol de América, but Libertad are fully determined and able to get all three points. Who wins the prize?

Insights:
  • Sol de América have the most dropped points from leading position (23) in Division 1
  • Libertad have the most scored goals in the first half (34) in Division 1

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

These are busy days for the team playing at home, as they were in action only four days ago in the Division 1. That game was an away game at Guarani, so at least América are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Sol de América form and stats

When playing at home in the Division 1, Sol de América have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 8 games. Game days at Estadio Luís Alfonso Giagni have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Sol de América as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

América lost their last game at Guarani (placed 8th) after a 1-4 scoreline.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Nacional Asuncion (2-3).

The manager Guiñazú will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Guairena in only four days.

Sol de América are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games.
