Betting on Club Sportivo Luqueno
Sportivo Luqueno’s tournament hasn’t been too bad, since it has only lost three games, but has drawn a lot (six matches). However, the team has given away many points, which is why it still holds sixth place and is unable to clinch the title. The team just can’t seem to finish games.
Sportivo Luqueno had gone seven games without losing, but in the last match against General Caballero, it lost 3-2. Actually, it played poorly in that game, and was losing 3-1 until the 94th minute. The team had also come close to losing in previous matches, such as its game against Trinidense (2-2), where it was suffering until the final whistle.
The positive thing is that it is still adding points to its average standings, where Sportivo Luqueno is now eighth. Therefore, its objective is clear: it needs to improve its offense, as it has only scored 17 goals in the tournament so far.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Gonzalo Falcón; Eduardo Duarte, Pablo Aguilar, Sebastián Olmedo, Diego Vera; Diego Fernández, Jorge Mendoza, Rodrigo Rojas, Sebastián Ferreira; Marcelo Pérez, Paul Charpentier.
Betting on Libertad Futbol Club
Libertad has opened up a six-point lead over second-place Cerro Porteño, and shows no signs of slowing down since its defeat to Olimpia (2-1) in matchday 8. The team has not lost a league game since then, winning five matches and drawing 0-0 against Guaraní.
One of the most striking things about this team is its strong offensive play. In fact, Libertad delivered a 5-0 blow to Cerro Porteño in a crucial match, sending a clear message to its rivals. In matchday 10, the team smashed Ameliano 5-2, and in matchday 13, it did the same with a 4-0 victory over Resistencia.
So, Libertad boasts the best offense and defense in the tournament, having only conceded seven goals so far. Scoring against this team is a tough task, while it seems to score at will. Actually, Libertad is a bit hurt after its defeat to Alianza Lima (1-2) in the Copa Libertadores, and someone will have to pay for it.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Martín Silva; Iván Ramírez, Diego Viera, Nestor Giménez, Matías Espinoza; Ruben Lezcano, Cristian Riveros, Diego Gómez; Enso González, Oscar Cardozo, Lorenzo Melgarejo.
JefeBet Prediction
Libertad is a strong away team, having lost only one out of six games played on the road. However, it always seems to concede goals when playing away. In fact, out of the seven goals conceded, six have been outside Asunción.
On the other hand, Sportivo Luqueno has not lost a game at home, with three draws and three victories. Therefore, at JefeBet, we believe these factors will combine to produce a draw with goals, allowing Libertad to remain at the top of the standings, albeit with a two-point advantage.
Prediction: Tie and Both teams score (LUQ 1-1 LIB).
