Sportivo Ameliano form and stats
3 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Sportivo Ameliano have to build on here at Estadio Martín Torres in the Division 1. The Sportivo Ameliano manager Ramírez might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
A good away victory last time out for Sportivo, who won 2-1 against Sportivo Luqueno. Finally, a league victory after four games without.
Before that game, a strong away victory at Independiente FBC. A Copa Paraguay match.
The Sportivo Ameliano fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 11 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Sportivo defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Libertad form and stats
Libertad's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Libertad collect 22 points from their 11 away matches in the Division 1. 7 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 3 defeats).
Impressive finishing from Villalba (2), Ullúa and Álvarez secured the home win 4-3 against Guairena in their previous game. What a finish in the last match, as Libertad came back from being down 1-3 and secured a very satisfying victory through Álvarez's goal in the 86th minute. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Garnero when Álvarez scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 76th minute.
Previously, the Copa Sudamericana win away at Tigre.
A quick return to home after this game, as Libertad are hosting Fortaleza in the Copa Sudamericana only three days away.
Libertad are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 18 times in 11 away games so far.
