Velez Sarsfield will look to continue their perfect start to the Copa Libertadores when they travel to Paraguay on Wednesday to take on Olimpia at the Estadio Ueno Defensores del Chaco.
The hosts lost their first game 3-2 to San Antonio Bulo Bulo, while Velez Sarsfield took all three points with a 2-1 win over Penoral.
Olimpia - Velez Sarsfield Betting Tips: Velez Sarsfield to Win or Draw (X2)
Olimpia suffered a 3-2 defeat in their opening Copa Libertadores group game and are now winless in five games, losing four out of five. Velez Sarsfield, on the other hand, started the Copa Libertadores with a narrow 2-1 win over Penarol and seem to be in better shape both mentally and in terms of performance. For this reason, we expect Velez Sarsfield to pick up at least a point against Olimpia on Wednesday (X2 double chance).
