It's the premier fixture of the new season for Tacuary and Libertad. The sheet is blank, the opportunities endless.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
