Copa Libertadores betting and spectator preview: Olimpia and Colón meet at Estadio Defensores del Chaco to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
Colón have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
