Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Sportivo Luqueño & Defensa y Justicia face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Sudamericana. All the pre-match information is available here!
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Division 1. Thankfully the previous game, versus River Plate, was also a home game here at Estadio Luís Alfonso Giagni. The away team is better rested.
These teams have little in common geographically as Defensa y Justicia have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
