Libertad and Deportivo Recoleta meet often enough to count as a pair that knows each other well. The result of their last meeting, a 4-1 thrashing by Libertad, still rankles with the hosts, but this time Deportivo Recoleta get to play at home, and Libertad's recent form is not as hot as it once was. The hosts have played 12 league matches, winning only 2, drawing 2 and losing 8, scoring on average a little over a goal per game, but a defence that has conceded 24 goals is the area that must be fixed first, because their latest league outing still ended without a win. Libertad, meanwhile, have taken 7 wins from 12 matches, averaging more than a goal and a half per game going forward, but they have won only two of their last five and have just lost at home in their most recent match. In this game the hosts are likely to set up more solidly and wait for the chance to counter. If Deportivo Recoleta score first, whether from a counter or a set piece, the home atmosphere will push the game in the direction where Libertad have to open up and attack more, and it will turn into the hosts sitting back and waiting for the counters they are good at.
