Betting on Guarani
Guaraní approaches this match feeling relaxed due to the good results it has been achieving in the Paraguayan Primera Division. The team has achieved three victories in a row, in each of which it has scored two or more goals. The team learned from its mistakes and after starting the tournament with a 1-0 loss to Libertad, it has now gone undefeated for five matches, and it has managed to score goals in each of them.
The Cacique has only played two games at home this 2023, and it has not lost in either of them, winning one and drawing the other. In total, the team has gone undefeated in four matches in all competitions. Nine of Guaraní’s last 10 home matches in all competitions have featured goals from both sides and have also ended with the Over 2.5.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Rodrigo Muñoz; Raúl Cáceres, Marcos Cáceres, José Moya, Walter Clar; Hugo Dorrego, Gastón Gil Romero, Darío Ríos, Matías Segovia; Néstor Camacho, Facundo Barceló.
Betting on Sportivo Ameliano
Sportivo Ameliano has not been performing well in the local tournament, but it managed to get its first victory in the previous round, which will undoubtedly bring the team some peace of mind, as it managed to end a five-game winless streak. The team has recorded one win, four draws and one loss after six league matches, which is not enough to keep it in the top half of the standings.
This match is a great challenge for a team that has reached this international tournament for the first time in its history. Sportivo Ameliano secured their spot in the tournament by winning the Copa Paraguay, and it is now aiming to represent its country in the group stage.
Although this match will be challenging, things are looking favorable for a team that has not lost playing away from home since October 2022, and that has six undefeated matches in all competitions.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Joaquín Matias Papaleo; Walter Cabrera, Hugo Benítez, Franco Ortellado, Victor Rojas; Fredy Vera, Blas Cáceres, Kevin Benítez, Luis Ortiz; Julio Doldán, Elías Sarquis
JefeBet Prediction
The V azulada is not the favorite team in this match due to its lack of experience in this type of competition. In contrast, Guaraní is participating in its seventh edition of the Copa Sudamericana. Moreover, the Cacique is coming off back-to-back wins and is statistically a more solid team.
Prediction: Guarani win by a score of 2-0.
