In 39 matches in this competition, he only managed 3 comebacks in the 15 games in which he suffered the first goal.
Cerro Porteño improved a lot of production in recent days and it is not by chance that he entered the fight for the title, so much that now he wants to continue like this until the end of the championship. For this you will have to maintain a positive regularity in the results, so you expect to have control of the game during the ninety minutes, as this would approach a favorable score. For this game coach Leonel Alvarez should take to the field what he has of better available.
Nacional Asuncion:
The away team is currently in the 10 th position of the league, with 17 points won, after 8 wins, 16 draws and 15 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Guaraní, by (0-4). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Cerro Porteño, by (1-2). This is a team that, oddly enough, was better outside than at home, as in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 2 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. In the last away game in this competition, they have tied (1-1) against Sportivo Luqueño. In the last 10 away matches for the championship, Nacional Asunción has 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 30 possible. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition, so it was not very strong defensively. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 13 of the last 19 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 39 matches in this competition, he only managed 2 comebacks in the 22 matches in which he suffered the first goal.
The National is making a campaign that leaves him in the middle of the qualifying table and aims to evolve to flee to the descent, so even away from home is important to score. The team is aware that they need to do good performances and not make mistakes if they want good results, even more because they face an opponent who is in a better situation than theirs, therefore, they must have peace and attention during the nineties minutes to not miss anything. For this game the coach Roberto Torres must take to the field what is best available.
