Betting on Cerro Porteño
The Ciclón is currently in fourth place in Paraguay’s main tournament standings, and it is hoping to break its home draw streak in this Cerro Porteno vs Sportivo Luqueno match.
The Asunción team has attained two victories this season, against Sportivo Tridense and Guaireña. In general, it has not shown a great differential so far, but it is expected that with the help of its reinforcements, the home campaign will be successful, also keeping in mind the Libertadores.
The Cerro Porteno vs Sportivo Luqueno match will be very important to demonstrate that the team’s squad is sufficient to compete at a high level in the two current tournaments. In its most recent match against Fortaleza of Brazil, the team won 1-0 with a great goal by Diego Churín in the 34th minute, thus gaining the away advantage. The team will be closing the group stage at home.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): José Miers; Alberto Espínola, Juan Patiño, Gabriel Báez, Leonardo Rivas; Claudio Aquino, Ángel Cardozo Lucena, Wilder Viera, Federico Carrizo; Diego Churín, Robert Morales.
Betting on Sportivo Luqueño
The team coached by Paraguayan Gustavo Florentín has had an irregular performance and is not expecting any significant achievements. At the moment, the team has accumulated 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses. In its last game against Resistencia at home, the team won with just enough: a goal by Paul Charpentier at the 66th minute left the final score 1-0.
It is expected that in this new opportunity, the Azul y Oro will win on the road with the help of players like Charpentier, who scored a goal after entering the match against Resistencia in the second half. In the previous match, the forward lines were the ones in control of the stoppage, so pressure will play a crucial role.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Gonzalo Falcón; Rodi Ferreira, Sebastián Olmedo, Joel Jiménez, Diego Vera; Rodrigo Viega, Rodrigo Rojas, Julio César Báez, Sebastián Ruiz; Diego Fernández, Marcelo Pérez.
JefeBet Prediction
Based on its performance in the first few matchdays, we believe that it will be the home team who will win this Cerro Porteno vs Sportivo Luqueno clash.
Because of its hierarchy and history, Cerro is likely to take the three points, although it may not have too much of an advantage considering that it will be guard its stars players for the Copa Libertadores match to be held on Thursday of next week.
Prediction: Cerro Porteno wins 2-1.
