One of the most successful football clubs in Paraguay, Libertad, is also competing for the top of the table this season. They are in 1st place of the Primera Division with 3 points more than Cerro Porteno. In addition, they are fighting on another front, the Copa Sudamericana, the second strongest club competition in South America. They reached the knockout stage of this competition through the Copa Libertadores and 3rd place in the group stage. They will try to confirm their good form and five wins in a row against their Ecuadorian rival.

Universidad Catolica almost took the 1st place in the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana but they finished in the number 2 position with only one point less than the favorites in this group Cruzeiro. They were followed by Alianza and Union La Calera. In the championship of Ecuador, they won after a long time, but they are still in 5th place with a big deficit compared to the top of the table. This competition is a chance for U. Catolica to make a solid result and maybe save the season

Libertad vs Universidad Catolica pick: LIBERTAD TO WIN

3 years ago these two teams met in the qualifiers for the Copa Libertadores and Libertad was overall more successful. The Paraguayan team plays very well at home and in this stadium much stronger teams than Universidad Catolica have fallen. The most important thing for the home team is to achieve a good result in the first match, which would make the visit much easier for them. In addition to the match with a small number of goals, we also expect the home team to reach at least the final triumph with a one-goal difference.
