Libertad - Sportivo Carapegua

Paraguay Primera Division, Apertura

Libertad are losing space in the Primera Division, for which they need to start summing up points again. Two consecutive defeats against rivals from Cerro Porteno and Olimpia put a serious dent in their title aspirations, as they are now currently 9 points behind leaders Olimpia. That difference could be 6 points, but for that, Libertad needs to go out and take the win tonight. Carapegua is on fire lately, and comes after 3 consecutive wins, but only the one against Nacional can be considered a great achievement (matches against Rubio Nu and Independiente are usually up for grabs for everyone). However, I don't expect this good form to last forever, and Libertad should have plenty of quality and motivation to end it. Especially since in their away matches, Carapegua only won the aforementioned match at Rubio, otherwise losing at Cerro de Franco and Olimpia, and drawing at Luqueno. Libertad has no Libertadores duties next week, so they can field their best team. Motivation should also be at a maximum level, as another wrong turn will definitely knock them out of the title fight. GL!

Libertad (-1 AH) @ 2.03, 4/10
Result: 1-1, LOST
