Deportivo Capiata - Olimpia

Paraguay Primera Division
Olimpia's coach has made it official, announcing that for what's left of the season, he will use a completely alternative squad, in order to keep the regulars fresh and fit for the Copa Libertadore's semi-final against Santa Fe. They have nothing to play for in the league anyway, since Nacional have already been crowned as champions a few rounds ago. The only thing left for them to play for is Copa Libertadores, therefore in the remaining two league rounds, we will be seeing a completely different team, consisting mainly of fringe reserve players mixed with a handful of youngsters. They're record in the league isn't great, especially away from home, where they are on 3-5-2 and a 10-11 goal difference. Capiata doesn't have any immediate objectives either, but I'm sure they'll play with fire for a few reasons. First of all, they are a small team, so any win/performance against one of the giants would be enough reasons to celebrate. Besides, they've already beaten Olimpia in their previous match, 3-2 as visitors, so a repeat of that performance would be something to remember. They also need to gather as many points as possible to make sure they won't get caught in the relegation battle, so I'm going for the minnows today. GL!
Capiata (+0.25 AH) @ 1.77, 4/10
Result: 1-1, HALF WON
