Six rounds have been played in the Paraguayan Primera Division, and only two teams remain undefeated. This weekend, Libertad vs Guairena will face each other. Both teams have different realities, since the former is one of those undefeated teams, and the latter is one of those that have had trouble winning.
Libertad leads the overall standings, and is playing for three points here in order to extend its lead over the rest. However, even if the team fails to win this game, it could keep their position. Guairena, on the other hand, has only won one of its six games, and it wants to break its win drought, since the team has not won three league games in a month.
Without further introduction, JefeBet brings you here all the information for the preview of the Libertad vs Guairena game, the latest news on the teams, the prediction, the odds, and many more.

Betting on Libertad
Six rounds have been enough for Libertad to prove its potential as one of the best teams in the Paraguayan Primera Division. With five wins and one draw, the team has 16 points and is at the top of the standings. It has not been very strong offensively, but defensively, instead, conceding only three goals, the fewest of the season.
Its three consecutive victories prior to this match may serve as pure motivation. In home games, Libertad has won two games, and in both of them it has managed to keep a clean sheet; therefore, it has only conceded one own goal in this condition. The Gumarelos has not lost at home since October 2022, and has now gone five games without defeat in all competitions.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Martín Silva; Iván Piris, Diego Viera, Alexander Barboza, Nestor Gimenez; Héctor Villalba, Hugo Martínez, Hernesto Caballero Benitez, Diego Gómez; Alfio Oviedo, Lorenzo Melgarejo.
Betting on Guairena
Guairena tasted the sweetness of victory only once in these six rounds of activity in the Paraguayan Primera Division, but now holds a four-game losing streak. What may give hope to its supporters is that, at least in that streak, the team has only scored one loss and three draws. Although it is failing to get those important points, draws can be useful in the future.
With his record, Guairena has six units and is in the antepenultimate position in the overall scoreboard. Despite its poor performance, one thing that can be highlighted is the fact that the only unbeaten goal Guairena has achieved was in its most recent match, with a goalless draw against General Caballero. In addition, Guairena has not lost on enemy grounds.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Aldo Perez Ramos; Paulo Lima, Jose Ariel Nuñez, Nildo Viera, Elias Britez; Richard Fernandez, Miguel Paniagua, Mario Otazú, Rodrigo Alborno; Rosalino Toledo, Marcelo Acosta.
JefeBet Prediction
According to statistics of the current tournament, as well as its history of matches between these teams, Libertad is placed as the favorite, since it has won four of the five home matches between 2020 and 2022.
It should be noted that even if the win goes to the home side, the score is likely to be in the Under (2.5) range, since Libertad has not scored more than one goal in any of its home games this season.
Prediction: Libertad wins by 2-0
