Copa Libertadores 2012, Group Stage
Olimpia comes in a very good moment, and will be a tough team to beat, especially after their previous matches in Libertadores, where they beat Lanus in Paraguay 2-1, came back to draw the match at Flamengo after being 0-3 down, and also won the return match with the Brazilians, 3-2. So it's a perfect time for them, and are looking like solid contenders to qualify to the next round, especially since their last match will be at home with Emelec. However, Lanus is still leading the group, and will look for the 3 points tonight, that will assure them 90% of their qualification, as in the last round they travel to Brazil, so any lost point today could prove to be fatal. Both teams are expected to go full strength in this match, so we'll see on the pitch Olimpia's offensive force, consisting of Marin, Orteman, Zeballos and Caballero. That will definitely be dangerous in positional attacks, as well as on counters and from set pieces. However, their week point still remains the defense (they conceded 7 goals in their 4 matches so far), so there should be plenty of chances for Regueiro and Pavone to score. Both teams have rested their key players during the weekend, so they should all be up to this task. And as I said, whoever wins basically qualifies, so I see them both going for the 3 points, not leaving anything to chance for the last round. GL!
over 2.25 goals @ 2.00, 5/10
Result: 6-0, WON
