Olimpia Asuncion - General Caballero

Paraguay Primera Division, Apertura

The handicap might be a bit too high here, but this bet is a must-take in my opinion, because Olimpia has been close to brilliant so far, and their form looks encouraging for their supporters. They attack from the start, and put a lot of pressure on their opponents, so for a smaller team like General Caballero this could choke them, especially if we look at Olimpia's last match, the 3-0 win at Independiente, a team not much weaker than Caballero. The attack is going great for El Decano, helped a lot by their striker's good form: 'The Tank' Ferreyra scored last match from penalty, while the new signing Pablo Zeballos (ex-Cerro Porteno) has hit the ground running, scoring twice. And today, left winger Vladimir Marin is expected to make his debut, which should more even more incentive to the attack. General Caballero has played defensively so far, and it's a sure bet they'll do it again tonight, as it would be pretty much suicidal to attack Olimpia at their home. And their defensive moves could keep them in the game for a while, but with the way Olimpia puts pressure, General Caballero's bunker is sure to fall eventually. I can't see the visitors scoring, so it will be all up to Olimpia to beat the handicap, and they look more than probable to do it. GL!

Olimpia (-1.25 AH) @ 1.99, 3/10
Result: 3-1, WON
