This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Olimpia at Estadio Manuel Ferreira when the Copa Libertadores tournament arrives in town and Santos with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!

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

These teams have little in common geographically as Santos have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Olimpia form and stats

Olimpia participated in Copa Libertadores the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Estadio Manuel Ferreira as Olimpia have scored 30 goals to get 23 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Division 1 are 7-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). On the other hand, in the Copa Libertadores, Olimpia has performed like this (both home and away): 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss. The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Olimpia has won their last four matches. Olimpia has recorded two wins in a row here at Estadio Manuel Ferreira, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

Olimpia are returning here after visiting Sol de America in a Division 1 game and winning with a 4-2 scoreline. N. Camacho, J. Recalde and R. Rojas (2) scored the goal(s). A Copa Libertadores defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Defensa y Justicia.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? A. Silva was on the receiving end of a red card in the Olimpia-Sol de America match, being sent off in the 7th minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 4-2 victory.

This is expected to be a close game, with Olimpia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Olimpia as a small favourite), we find three games. Olimpia has won two of these, drawn one and lost zero.

Olimpia are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Estadio Manuel Ferreira in their league games, having scored an impressive 30 goals in 10 matches. From these home matches, Olimpia have conceded only 8 goals.

Santos form and stats

2-1-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Santos in their Serie A matches away. When we have look at the Copa Libertadores statistics, we find 3W-1D-0L. This is both home and away. The last three matches for Santos have all ended in a draw.

There were no winners in Santos's previous match, a Serie A home game that ended 1-1 vs Fortaleza. Prior to that result Santos won their away game at Delfin in the Copa Libertadores. The scoreline was 2-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Santos in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Santos, four draws and three defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Serie A trip to Goias.

The attacking power of Santos when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Santos - Olimpia 0-0 earlier this season.
