Betting on Libertad
They are undefeated in this tournament and have only drawn one game, which was against Luqueño, where they finished 1-1. The next game, they looked much better and beat Nacional with a lot of authority.
They started the game with all their might, and Diego Gómez scored a goal, which extended the lead half an hour later, but not even three minutes had passed when they conceded 1-2. The match could have been quite dramatic, but Daniel Garnero’s team controlled the game.
They did not lend the ball to Nacional and even had more opportunities to score the third one, which shows that the team is powerful on offense. The area with room for improvement is the defense, where distractions are the main faults in their games, as it happened against Luqueño and Nacional.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Martín Silva; Iván Piris, Diego Viera, Néstor Giménez, Matías Espinoza; Héctor Villaba, Diego Gómez, Hernesto Caballero, Hugo Martínez; Alfio Oviedo, Lorenzo Melgarejo.
Betting on Tacuary
They did not have the best start to the tournament with three consecutive defeats, including a 4-0 drubbing against Olimpia, but they breathed a sigh of relief and earned their first point of the tournament with a 1-1 draw against General Caballero.
With Carlos Paredes at the helm, the team improved a little and in the last match they started winning, defended the advantage well, but a mistake in defense, where they still need to improve, cost them the tie.
One of the positive things is that, offensively, they generate much more. In the first three games, they averaged four shots per game; this time they averaged 13, but only three were on target. They have their sights a little off, but to score, you have to capitalize.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Carlos Servín; Alexis Fernández, Luis Martinez, Igor, Rodney Pedrozo; Hugo Valdez, Marcelo Paredes, Alfredo Amarilla, Jorge González, Patryck Ferreira, Renzo Carballo.
JefeBet Prediction
The Pumas have improved, but it will not be enough to defeat the leader of the competition. However, they will show a much better team, and the Repollero will have a hard time beating them, even if they play at home.
Prediction: Libertad 1-0 Tacuary.
