Betting on Olimpia
Currently in fourth place in the Paraguayan League table, Olimpia has accumulated 6 points from three games. Of these three matches, the team has won two and lost one, scoring 7 goals while allowing 4 against. Olimpia is one of only two teams in the league to have played three matches instead of four so far. With a win, they could move up to second place, surpassing Cerro Porteño and Sportivo Trinidense.
In the games played so far, Olimpia has secured two victories (2-1 vs Sportivo Luqueño; 4-0 vs Tacuary) and suffered one loss (3-1 vs Sportivo Trinidense). It is worth noting that their statistics thus far indicate a strong home advantage and a weakness when playing away.
With a ratio of 1.4 goals per game based on their 7 goals scored so far, Olimpia’s effectiveness is quite positive heading into their upcoming match against Guaireña.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Gastón Oliveira; Mateo Gamarra, Jhohan Navarra, Antolín Alcaraz, Saúl Salcedo; Iván Torres, Richard Ortiz, Alejandro González, Brian Montenegro; Fernando Cardozo, Juan Báez, Facundo Bruera.
Betting on Guaireña
Conversely, Guaireña has not experienced the same level of success as Olimpia. Currently occupying the eighth position in the table, Guaireña has played one more game than their opponent, scoring 4 goals and conceding 7, resulting in a goal difference of -3 and 4 points.
This position leaves them susceptible to being overtaken by their competitors, as a win for Guaireña could propel them to fourth place and displace Olimpia, moving up four positions in the table.
In their recent Paraguayan League matches, Guaireña has secured one win (1-2 vs Tacuary), one draw (1-1 vs Sportivo Trinidense), and suffered two losses (1-3 vs Nacional Asunción and 0-2 vs Cerro Porteño). Despite not being very effective, their sole victory came in an away game, which suggests that Guaireña may surprise their opponent in this Saturday’s match with the help of their key player, Paulo Lima.
Possible Guaireña lineup (3-5-2): Oscar Acosta; Rodrigo Alborno, Paulo Lima, Aquilino Giménez; Mario Otazú, Mudo Valdez, Juan Aguilar, Alexis Rojas, Milton Maciel; Rodrigo López, José Verdún.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite the fact that both teams have great capabilities and chances of winning, Olimpia has shown itself to be much stronger, more agile and dominant in its last matches, not only in the final results, but also in goals, an element that Guaireña is lacking. Therefore, Olimpia will come out on top in this encounter.
Prediction: Olimpia wins 2-1.
