Guarani - Independiente

Paraguay Primera Division, Apertura

The Paraguay season starts today, and as an opening match we will have Guarani - Independiente, in what should be an entertaining game. Independiente were quite surpriseful in last season's Clausura, finishing on a decent 6th place, above teams like Rubio Nu and Guarani. This season's squad doesn't look bad either, so they can be hopefull of finishing again in the mid-high part of the table. Guarani made a complete disaster last year, ending the Clausura tournament on the 9th position, despite often playing some very entertaining matches (they had a solid attack, but one of the poorest defenses in the league). And that style should remain with them this season too, as for this opening match the coach has prepared an offensive 3-2-3-2, which is sure to put a lot of pressure on Independiente. The problem, however, is the 3-man defensive line, which even the coach rated as a big unknown. Independiente managed to pull off some surprises last season, and with Guarani's tactics they should find some spaces for counters, therefore I fancy a nice, high-scoring match. GL!
