It's a new Primera Division campaign and Atlético Venezuela are eager to get started here at Estadio Olímpico Hermanos Ghersi Páez. Metropolitanos are coming to visit and this should be a thrilling season kickoff.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa Sudamericana game only two days ago. That game was also an away game, at Academia Puerto Cabello. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
