Guarani Preview
Guarani’s last game against Libertad looked likely to end in a draw, butthe debut in the Torneo Apertura ended up in a disappointing loss. In the 97th Héctor Villalba converted a penalty kick to seal the match.
It was a very tight match, with many infractions that left Guaraní with six with yellow cards. Undoubtedly, its coach, the Uruguayan Hernán Rodrigo López, has not yet found the team, given that there were many new players compared with the squad they had in 2022.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Rodrigo Muñoz, Raúl Cáceres, Jorge Morel, Marcos Cáceres, Miguel Ángel Benítez, Rubén Darío Ríos, Luis Fariña, Gastón Gil Romero, Hugo Dorrego, Facundo Barceló, Alberto Contrera.
Sportivo Ameliano Preview
Sportivo Ameliano started the year on the right food. First, they won the Paraguay Cup by defeating Nacional on penalties (1-1 draw and 4-3 on penalties); and then they beat Olimpia 1-0 with a goal by Elvio Vera to win the Paraguayan Super Cup.
With these trophies on their cabinet, they visited the Nueva Olla de Barrio Obrero, where they faced Cerro Porteño, another giant of local soccer. The result was 1-1, and Alex Barrios scored for Ameliano in the 11th minute.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Joaquín Papaleo, Ángel David Martínez, Marcos Martinich, Franco Ortellado, Hugo Javier Benítez, Elías Sarquis Vargas, Edgar Zaracho, Silvio Torales, Fernando Leguizamón, Alex Arce, Diego Duarte.
JefeBet Prediction
It will be a very even duel, with a visiting team on the rise and a home team that is trying to find its best form. A draw would not be a bad result for Guaraní, and that is whyat JefeBet we believe that the match will end evenly matched.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
