It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Olimpia, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.

Colón form and stats

The Colón crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Velez Sarsfield here at Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Ábila for missing a penalty kick versus Velez Sarsfield in the 85th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. Midfielder Pierotti was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.4 (out of ten) in that game. Pierotti hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Colón's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 4 games, won 2 matches, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Olimpia form and stats

Olimpia was sent out of Copa Libertadores in the quarter-finals last season, when Flamengo turned out to be too strong.

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 1 draw and only 2 losses in the Division 1.

Olimpia play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-1 victory visiting Tacuary.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Sol de America in the Division 1.

After this away game Olimpia return home for a Division 1 game against Cerro Porteno. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The travelling fans enjoy Olimpia's attacking play in away games, having scored 14 goals in 8 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Olimpia as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
