Olimpia Asuncion vs Godoy Cruz Predictions

Tuesday’s Copa Libertadores group stage action sees Paraguayans Olimpia doing battle with Argentines Godoy Cruz. The hosts arrive as big favourites to win and are expected to secure all 3 points without too many issues.

Paraguayan champions Olimpia came into the group hopeful of advancing to the last 16 and are certainly on course to do exactly that. They drew their first two games, away to Godoy Cruz and at home to Universidad de Concepción, but a stunning 3-0 win away at Sporting Cristal last time out now has them in a position in which another victory here would have them in a very commanding position.

Olimpia have looked a powerful force for quite some time now and confidence will certainly be high coming into Tuesday’s game, considering the team are now unbeaten in 16 consecutive matches, of which they’ve won 10. El Decano are playing with impressive consistency right now and know that if they maintain their standards on Tuesday, then they’ll have more than enough to win.

Meanwhile, having drawn all 3 of their opening group matches, Godoy Cruz aren’t in such a strong position but would still be in with a shout of progressing if they can secure a positive result from this trip to the Paraguayan capital. Nonetheless, having just finished 14th in the Superliga Argentina, El Tomba haven’t really been impressive over the last year and look a shadow of the side that qualified for the Libertadores in the first place.

Indeed, Lucas Bernardi’s men haven’t been playing particularly well in recent months and away showings are of particular concern prior to kick off on this one. The visitors haven’t won any of their last 7 away games, losing 3 times in the process and that doesn’t leave their prospects looking the brightest as regards going blow for blow with Olimpia.

All things considered, the hosts have to be considered big favourites to win the game and will be desperate to do so. Man for man, they’re a stronger outfit than Godoy Cruz and are the only side of the two that come into the game with any kind of momentum.

As far as the betting goes, backing a home win to nil looks the best way to play and is exactly where our money is going at current odds. Olimpia have kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 5 home games and with Godoy Cruz having failed to score in 5 of their last 7 away games, that figure is likely to become 4 from 6, with a 2-0 margin of home victory on the cards.
