The hosts América saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Division 1. That game was an away game at Cerro Porteno, so at least Sol de América are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

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

Sol de América form and stats

4-2-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Division 1 numbers at home for Sol de América so far this season. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Sol de América, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The home team returns to Estadio Luís Alfonso Giagni after being equal after 90 minutes with Cerro Porteno on their last time out; the Division 1 game ended 0-0. In the game before, an away victory match versus General Diaz with a 5-2 scoreline.

The Sol de América fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 11 matches. Sol de América's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Nacional Asunción form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Nacional Asunción so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-5 (win-draw-lose). Momentum is building for Nacional Asunción in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Nacional goalkeeper Antony Domingo Silva Cano is eager to challenge this, with his 338 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Nacional delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Guairena in their previous match; a Division 1 game. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Libertad at their stadium, the result 2-0.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nacional as they have only managed to score 7 times from 11 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 12 goals have been conceded by Nacional in these games.
