Defensa y Justicia vs Olimpia Asuncion Match Preview

In today's Copa Libertadores game, Defensa y Justicia face Olimpia Asuncion in the fourth round at the Norberto Tito Tomaghello. This match will be decisive for the second place of the groups.

After two unsuccessful results back in March, Defensa y Justicia prevailed 3-0 against Delfin last week at home and made their first victory in the group stage. Although they hadn't played a single match for nearly six months, their appearance was quite decent, and fairly got the three points.

The Argentine Primera Division is still on hold, and as expected, all the teams are now focusing on Copa Libertadores. Apart from Francisco Pizzini's injury, this will be the only missing for today's match, with manager Hernan Crespo giving a chance to Gabriel Hachen into his best eleven. 

On the other hand, Olimpia Asuncion comes from an away goalless draw in Brazil against Santos. In the matches of the first two rounds, they won against today's opponent with 2-1, while they drew 1-1 at Delphine's home. Even the draw will be a good result for the Paraguay team today, as it takes the lead for the second place and keeps distance from the rest opponents.

The Paraguay Championship has started, where Olimpia is doing well, coming from an impressive 7-0 win against Sportivo Lucenio playing under heavy rotation from the manager. Today's missings for Olimpia are the suspended Rodrigo Rojas, as well as the injured striker Roque Santa Cruz.

Defensa y Justicia usually plays offensively, creating many chances in the box, and today, they will try for a second consecutive win, which will put them even more close to the second place. Olimpia Asuncion mainly counting on the back, and I expect to see a similar tactic today as well from them. One way or another, I think Defensa y Justicia will take the three points here. Home to win is my call.
