International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Defensa y Justicia and Olimpia are looking forward to this Copa Libertadores fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Division 1.

It's quite the trip for Olimpia when visiting Justicia as the cities are 1300 kilometers apart.

Defensa y Justicia form and stats

Defensa y Justicia have collected 18 points from their Superliga home games so far after 5-3-4. This match is a Copa Libertadores match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses in this competition. Justicia haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Newell's Old Boys, 318 days ago. Justicia has recorded two wins in a row here at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

The Justicia supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Delfin in Copa Libertadores and win 3-0. Prior to that, an away loss at Olimpia in the Copa Libertadores.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Defensa y Justicia have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won three times, drawn three and lost three.

The Justicia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 12 matches. Defensa y Justicia are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 12 matches.

Olimpia form and stats

Olimpia was sent out of Copa Libertadores in the 8th finals last season.

5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Olimpia playing as the away team in the Division 1 this season. When we have look at the Copa Libertadores statistics, we find 1W-2D-0L. This is both home and away.

270 minutes! That's how long the Olimpia goalkeeper and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

N. Camacho, B. Montenegro, H. Fernández, J. Recalde (2) and D. González (2) scored in Olimpia's previous match, the home game against Sportivo Luqueno that ended 7-0. A 0-0 draw at Santos's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, Olimpia was the only team on the pitch versus Sportivo Luqueno in their previous game, winning 7-0. This could be a tougher task.

Olimpia are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and zero defeats. From a total of one match.

Olimpia has another fixture away, a Division 1 game, against Sol de America in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Olimpia are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 10 away games so far. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far).

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Olimpia - Justicia 2-1 earlier this season.
