At the Manuel Ferreira stadium, Olimpia (6th) will face Sportivo Ameliano (7th) this Sunday with the aim of returning to winning ways in the Clausura Tournament. The match, the last of date 5, will begin at 18:30.
El Franjeado (6 pts.), although he comes from a goalscoring exhibition in the Paraguay Cup -9×0 against Sport Colonial-, in his last presentation in the Honor contest he was left in debt when he was defeated against Tacuary.
But if he wins tonight, he will be able to close the gap with the leader Cerro Porteño, who the day before tied goalless with Nacional and who he will face the next day in the superclásico.
On the other hand, Ameliano also adds 6 units but his fight is focused on permanence, where he is last in the table of averages with a dividend below one unit (0.961). But if he succeeds today, he will be just one point behind General Caballero JLM and Tacuary in the aggregate that will define the descendants at the end of the season.
The cast of the ‘V’ Azulada comes from losing to Cerro Porteño (2-0) on date 4 of the Clausura, although it won a resounding 5-0 in its debut in the Paraguay Cup against Deportivo Obrero de Capitán Bado.
The history of the Apertura shows that Ameliano won in Para Uno by 2-0 and Olimpia thrashed 4-1 in Jardines del Kelito.
