Betting on Club Cerro Porteno
Cerro Porteno heads into this new edition of the Derby in great form, having won the last six matches. These results put the team in second place in the league with 35 points, and it is also one of the most prolific scorers with 31 goals in its favor.
In the previous game, Cerro defeated Resistencia 2-1 away from home, thanks to an own goal from Ruan in the second half. This goal sealed the deal for The Cyclone, marking its tenth victory in the tournament. Additionally, the home team boasts two of the best playmakers in the league, Claudio Aquino and Federico Carrizo, who have four assists each.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Jean; Alan Núñez, Pedro Álvarez, Piris da Motta, Gabriel Báez; Wilder Viera, Ángel Cardozo, Braian Samudio, Federico Carrizo; Claudio Aquino, Fernando Fernández.
Betting on Club Olimpia
Olimpia has slipped to fifth place with 23 points after two winless matches. In the last five games, this team has failed to score more than one goal and has only managed to win twice.
In the last match, The Dean fell short against Guairena. In a game that lost 1-0 after conceding a goal from Marcelo Acosta in the 15th minute. Olimpia was unable to recover from this setback throughout the game.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Juan Espínola; Víctor Salazar, Junior Barreto, Mateo Gamarra, Facundo Zabala; Marcos Gómez, Hugo Quintana, Alejandro Silva, Fernando Cardozo, Hugo Fernández; Facundo Bruera.
JefeBet Prediction
The 361st edition of the Paraguayan soccer derby, counting only official competition matches, is about to take place. When it comes to the local tournament, Cerro Porteno dominates with 112 victories, but in the overall history, Olimpia is ahead with 127 triumphs.
This challenge finds The Blue And Red in a better moment, winning several matches in a row and scoring a good amount of goals. Not the same for The White and Black, which has wobbled in the last few games. Therefore, at JefeBet, we believe that the home team will win this match and maintain its scoring pattern.
Prediction: Cerro Porteno Moneyline and Over (CER 3-1 OLI)
