Olimpia - Lanus

Copa Libertadores 2012, Group Stage

Lanus played a good match in the first round, but unfortunately for them, they couldn't take all the points from Flamengo, having to settle for a 1-1 draw. But other than that, they seem to be in good form, not losing a game since November (playing 7 in that time), and offensively they also look good, scoring 8 goals in the last 4 games, league and Libertadores combined. And they really need to get something out of their away matches, since they lost 2 points at home already, and both Olimpia and Emelec can be tricky teams to beat. Pavone looks to be on fire, scoring 3 goals in the last 3 matches, so for sure he will be the man to watch for the Paraguayans. Olimpia also needs to make this match count, and I doubt 1 point will satisfy them, as they already lost 0-1 to Emelec, one of the more accesible teams in the group. And Olimpia usually plays offensive, although lately their finishing skills have left many wondering. Full team expected tonight, with a small emphasys on attack, and keeping in mind that their defense looked fragile this year, the Argentininas should get their chances, as well as the Paraguayans. The line is set very low, and I think that at least a void should not be hard to get. GL!

over 2 goals @ 1.81, 4/10
Result: 2-1, WON
