Paraguay Primera Division, Apertura
Today we will have another episode of the Superclasico of Paraguay, for what promises to be a good and spectacular match, with a high level of determination. Luckily, Olimpia appears to have snapped out of their bad run, and now are back on track for the title, sharing the lead of the tournament with Nacional, after 3 consecutive victories that reminded us of the Olimpia from the start of the championship. So, good form and good morale couldn't have come at a better time, as I'm sure it will be a huge boost for everyone ahead of the derby, especially since they haven't lost against Cerro since 2009, and have won their last metting, as visitors, earlier this year. For Cerro Porteno, this Superclasico came in the worst possible moment. They have lost any chances to win the title, they are without a win in the league since the 20th of March, and their focus is somewhere else. Earlier this week they played in Libertadores, snatching a promising 0-0 draw in Argentina against Estudiantes, and with the return leg due next week, they certainly have their hopes high, and that match on their minds. That is why coach Astrada will use a mixed squad today, and the most important players that are absent are Nanni (top scorer of Libertadores) and Fabro. For Olimpia, only Molinas is suspended, but he's not such an important players, especially since Donnet, Marin, Zeballos and Ferreyra are available. GL!
Olimpia (-0.5 AH) @ 1.95, 4/10
Result: 0-2, LOST
