Olimpia and Melgar get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Copa Libertadores Group Stage fixture.

Melgar have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Melgar form and stats

Cuesta (2) and Deneumostier scored in Melgar's previous match, the home game against ADT that ended 4-0. As mentioned above, Melgar was the only team on the pitch versus ADT in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task. Which player has scored three matches in a row for the away team? The answer is Cuesta and that is quite the feat! Attacker Cuesta got a player rating of 7.8 in the game. "Man of the match" Cuesta scored two goals and hit two key passes.

Before that, Melgar secured a home win against Deportivo Binacional with the score 2-1.
