Olimpia Asuncion - Guarani

Paraguay Primera Division, Apertura

This is a match that could have major implications in the title race. Olimpia will take a big step forward if they manage to win tonight, keeping at minimum the 4 points advantage that they have over the second placed team. But if they fail, the gate will be wide open for Cerro Porteno to cut the gap and push the fight all the way to the wire. And Guarani is a team that is not usually afraid to take on the big guns, as they always try to play on level terms. And they are favoring an offensive approach whenever possible. Olimpia is suffering from the game-play point of view, ever since Orteman and Marin left, but they are still getting the results. Most of the times, they are suffering against the small teams, that lock themselves in defense, but against a team like Guarani, that should come out and play, they should be able to find spaces for their fast attackers. Also, we shouldn't forget 2 of their matches from last year, both of them ending in 4-3 for Olimpia. Plenty of reasons to expect goals, so let's hope they won't let us down. GL!

over 2.5 goals @ 1.77, 3/10
Result: 2-0, LOST
