The visiting Olimpia side should be favourites in this visit to Sol de América, as the away team holds a 23 point advantage from their 20 league games this season.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa Libertadores. That game was also an away game, at Defensa y Justicia. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
