Betting on Cerro Porteño
First, we have one of the teams in the Paraguayan League with the best start to the season. Cerro Porteño is currently in second place in the standings, and, like the rest of the teams, it has played four games. During these dates, the team has never been defeated. Thus, they have scored five goals and conceded two, for a total of three goals and eight points.
In the four matches played so far, they have won two (0-1 vs Sportivo Trinidense; 0-2 vs Guaireña) and tied another two (1-1 vs Sportivo Ameliano; 1-1 vs Club Guaraní). As a result, they have managed to start with an average of just over a goal per game and a very high level of confidence. If they win the game against Resistencia, they could move into first place in the league, ahead of Libertad.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Jean; Pedro Álvarez, Juan Patiño, Gabriel Báez, Alberto Espinola; Federico Carrizo, Claudio Aquino, Wilver Viera, Ángel Lucena; Diego Churín, Robert Morales.
Betting on Resistencia
Resistencia, on the other hand, has not had the same luck, as it is in the penultimate position in the standings (11), and only Tacuary is below it. In the four games played so far, they have barely won one. In terms of goals, they have scored three and conceded eight, leaving them with a -5 goal difference and 3 points, tied with Sportivo Ameliano and Sportivo Luqueño.
These four matches played so far consist of one win (0-3 vs Sportivo Ameliano) and three losses (2-0 vs General Caballero; 0-2 vs Libertad; 0-4 vs Club Guaraní). In addition, the goals they have scored in the season have only been in one game, the other three were scored with a clean sheet, which is really very negative for their performance and statistics.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Rhuan; Ruan Silva, David Villalba, Andrés Duarte, Matías Villarreal; Richard Salinas, Walter Rodríguez, Rodrigo Mazur, Diego Godoy; Jorge Colmán, Diego Martínez.
JefeBet Prediction
Cerro Porteno vs Resistencia promises to be a complex match for the visitors, not only because of their condition of being away from home, but also because they are facing a team with a very high conversion rate and effectiveness, while they have only one win and three goals this season.
Prediction: Cerro Porteno wins 2-0.
