Betting on Olimpia (+290 at Caliente)
The team led by Francisco Arce will be looking to turn things around after a forgettable start to the domestic tournament. They have lost three out of their five games and are now nine points behind the leader Libertad.
After six winless matches, Olimpia secured a confidence-boosting 5-3 victory against Guaraní last Sunday. The hosts were incredibly efficient, with seven shots on target and five goals scored. However, it’s worth noting that they failed to find the back of the net during the first 90 minutes of action in their away match in Brazil.
Despite their less-than-ideal form, Olimpia showcases their strengths at home. They have won four out of their last six matches, scoring at least three goals in each of those victories. Furthermore, they are currently the highest-scoring team in the Paraguayan League, tied with Cerro Porteño, with seven goals to their name.
Probable Lineup (4-4-2): Juan Espínola; Alejandro Silva, Jhohan Romaña, Mateo Gamarra, Facundo Zabala; Fernando Cardozo, Marcos Gómez, Richard Ortíz, Iván Torres; Hugo Fernández, Walter González.
Betting on the Copa Libertadores
Betting on Flamengo (-106 at Caliente)
Flamengo is going through a rough patch and the coach’s future depends solely on this game. They suffered a tough 3-0 defeat against Cuiabá last weekend, which dropped them to second place in the standings with 31 points, tied with Fluminense, Palmeiras, and Bragantino.
Flamengo should focus on the Copa Libertadores, considering that they are already 13 points behind Botafogo in the Brasileirão, with only half of the competition played. In the Brasileirão, they have only won nine out of their 18 matches and conceded 23 goals, the highest among the top 14 teams.
At home, Jorge Sampaoli and his team haven’t lost since April 30, with nine wins and two draws. However, they have been inconsistent on the road. In their last eight away matches, they have only won four, and in this continental tournament, they have yet to win, with two draws and one loss.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Matheus Cunha; Wesley, Fabrício Bruno, David Luiz, Ayrton Lucas; Allan, Gérson; Éverton Ribeiro, Giorgian de Arrascaeta, Gabriel Barbosa; Bruno Henrique.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Olimpia vs Flamengo
We’re about to witness one of the most exciting matches of the Round of 16. If Flamengo wants to make it to the classic quarter-finals, they’ll have to show some serious character. But they’ll be facing a giant of Paraguayan football with a fearsome offense.
The stats show that in the last seven matches at Defensores del Chaco, Olimpia has scored a minimum of three goals. And at JefeBet, we predict that this trend won’t change next Thursday.
