Olimpia - Sportivo Carapegua

Paraguay Primera Division, Apertura

Olimpia kicks-off their season with what is expected to be an easy match, against newly promoted Sportivo Carapegua. And there's really not much to say about them: they lack known players, don't have any stars, and will have to rely on team-work and team-strength in order to achieve the great performance of not relegating. Meanwhile, Olimpia are the reigning champions of the first league, and they will surely want to defend their trophy. They have kept more or less the same squad as last season, not selling any of their star players, while making a couple of good aquisitions, including defender Renzo Revoredo from Sporting Cristal. That means that they have kept both midfield engines Vladimir Marin and Sergio Orteman, as well as their main attacking force Pablo Zeballos and Luis Caballero. With this being said, I believe it will all be up to Olimpia, as Carapegua won't have much to say in this match, and if they remain focused for the entire game, they could put in quite a score. Would have played bigger stakes, but with the handicap being so big, small stakes will do. GL!

Olimpia (-1.5 AH) @ 2.01, 2/10
Result: 3-2, LOST
