Olimpia Asunción vs. CA Bulo Bulo: Match preview
Olimpia Asunción have nothing left to play for heading into the final round of the Copa Libertadores. The team sits bottom of their group with just two points from five matches. Even a spot in the Copa Sudamericana play-offs is out of reach—they trail third place by four points, with no hope left. To make matters worse, Olimpia Asunción’s form has been disappointing: they haven’t won in six straight matches, recording four draws and two losses.
CA Bulo Bulo also have no aspirations left in this tournament. However, unlike Olimpia Asunción, CA Bulo Bulo will move on to the play-offs—not of the Copa Libertadores, but of the Copa Sudamericana. After five rounds, they have collected six points and currently occupy third place in the group. They are four points ahead of the bottom side and four behind second place. In essence, the team is simply playing out the remainder of this Copa Libertadores campaign.
Probable line-ups
- Olimpia: Olveira; Zabala, Lopez, Alfonso, Rojas; Domínguez, Franco, Gómez; Redes, Leguizamón, Benedetto
- CA Bulo Bulo: Saracho; Saucédo, Barbosa, Gutiérrez, Arce; Viveros, Suárez, Martínez, Otazú; Blanco, Aguilar
Prediction
Neither team is in contention for the next stage this season, so we could see a free-flowing game. My pick is over 3 goals in the match with odds of 1.45.
