Libertad and Guaraní meet so often it is almost impossible to count, and lately Guaraní have been the side collecting more wins, even though Libertad are usually seen as superior in many areas. In their meeting last August, Guaraní won 2-1 in front of their own fans, further underlining that this fixture is never easy for the hosts. Libertad are still 2nd in the table and just closed out with a 2-1 win, but in their last five matches they have won only two, drawing two and losing one. Their attack is serviceable but not at the level of pinning opponents back. As for Guaraní, they are unbeaten in 5 straight, with three wins in that stretch, and their defence is solid enough, conceding just 10 goals in 13 matches. This game is likely to see Libertad dominate possession and gradually work their attack, while Guaraní drop into a defensive block and wait for the counter. The thing to watch from the first whistle is how well Guaraní cope with Libertad's build-up play. If they let the hosts pass the ball into the box too often, the game will flow in one direction, but if they hold firm and counter at the right moments, it immediately becomes a tough job for Libertad.
