The upcoming match between Libertad vs General Caballero scheduled for Matchday 9 of the Paraguayan League will feature the best team of the season against the second-worst, making this game a pretty one-sided affair. The only thing the two teams have in common is that they both suffered losses in the previous matchday, although Libertad may be more affected as that defeat ended their seven-match unbeaten streak.
General Caballero has been struggling since January and is currently on an eight-match winless streak in all competitions. They’ll be looking to capitalize on their opponent’s emotional blow and secure a victory. Check out the predictions and odds for the Libertad vs General Caballero match in JefeBet‘s preview.

Betting on Libertad
Libertad’s unbeaten streak this season came to an end in their last match, as they suffered a 2-1 loss against Olimpia. While this was their first defeat of the campaign, it didn’t put their position in the overall standings at risk since they’re still sitting at the top with 19 points, thanks to six wins, one draw, and one loss.
The local team has managed to balance their lines well, and while they may not have the most goals scored, they have managed to find the back of the net in all eight of their matches so far. What’s really worth noting is their defensive performance – they’ve only let in five goals against them, the fewest of any team in the league.
Probable lineup (4-4-2):Martín Silva; Iván Piris, Diego Viera, Alexander Barboza, Nestor Gimenez; Héctor Villalba, Hugo Martínez, Álvaro Campuzano, Diego Gómez; Óscar Cardozo, Lorenzo Melgarejo
Betting on General Caballero
General Caballero had a strong start to the Apertura 2023 season, with a 2-0 victory over Resistencia in their first match. However, that’s been their only win in eight games, and they’re now approaching two months without a victory, with a total of eight winless matches across all competitions.
With a record of one win, three draws, and four losses, General Caballero currently sits in 11th place in the standings. But if they manage to secure a win in their upcoming match, they could climb up two spots. However, their chances of winning are in doubt, as they’ll be playing away from home – they haven’t won an away game since November 2022, and are currently on a four-game winless streak on the road, with three draws and one loss.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Gustavo Arevalos; César Castellano, Tomas Lezcano, Manuel Romero, Miller Mareco; Cristhian Baez, Juan Franco, Guillermo Hauche; Jorge Sanguina, Clementino González, Edgar Benítez
JefeBet Prediction
Libertad has had a strong record at home in this tournament, with three wins and a draw in their four matches played at home. They’ve managed to keep clean sheets in all of their home victories, and have only conceded one goal playing at home.
They’ll be looking to take advantage of this match against a struggling opponent, who, although they’ve managed to draw all their away games so far, haven’t faced any of the top three teams in the standings on the road. The scoreline could very well end up within the Under 2.5 margin, which has been the case in five of the eight games played by both of these teams.
Prediction: Libertad wins by a score of 2-0
