Betting on Guarani
Guaraní had the fortune of facing a weaker opponent in their previous match, which was beneficial as they secured their first victory of the season with a 4-0 win over Resistencia. Currently, they have remained unbeaten in three matches, scoring in each game, and have collected five points to position themselves in sixth place.
Guaraní is one of the two teams with the highest number of goals scored in the league, along with Olimpia, as they have seven goals to their credit. After earning their first three points, they will strive to maintain their unbeaten home record, having played only one home game so far, which ended in a 2-2 draw against Sportivo Ameliano. However, Guaraní has not lost in their last three matches played in all competitions, with their last defeat dating back to October 2022.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Rodrigo Muñoz; José Moya, Néstor Camacho, Darío Ríos, Raúl Cáceres; Walter Clar, Marcos Cáceres, Gastón Gil Romero, Hugo Dorrego; Facundo Barceló, Rodrigo Amarilla.
Betting on Sportivo Luqueño
Sportivo Luqueño is performing well enough to be ranked among the top three teams in the overall standings. The team has played four matches so far, losing one and remaining unbeaten in the last two games after a 1-1 draw against Guaireña and a 3-1 victory over Olimpia.
Their two wins so far are the second-highest number of victories in this season’s campaign, along with four other teams. However, it should be noted that Kuré Luque has yet to win an away game this season, having one loss and one draw. Additionally, both teams have scored in both of their away matches.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Gonzalo Falcón; Joel Jiménez, Juan Nunez, Rodrigo Viega, Rodi Ferreira; Patrocinio Alvarenga, Sebastián Maldonado, Jorge Mendoza, Sergio Fretes; Marcelo Perez, Julio Báez.
JefeBet Prediction
Guaraní has won four of the last five meetings with Sportivo Luqueño, and the last three victories have happened in a row. In addition to this history of clashes between them, the Cacique arrives with a positive streak and a recent victory, which inclines the court on their side to expect a new victory in this opportunity.
Prediction: Guarani win by a score of 2-0.
