Going in the game, both teams have occupied the first two spots in the league’s standings. Cerro Porteno is enjoying its unbeaten run so far in the divisional league, whereas Nacional has won three of its four games in the competition.

After winning four back-to-back games in the Paraguayan Primera League Division, Cerro Porteno lost to Rubio Nu (1-0) which was completely unexpected. In their previous game, Cerro Porteno’s strikers were unable to score the equalizer. However, Cerro Porteno will be all prepared to face Nacional, who poses a threat to them. Cerro Porteno has scored 7 goals in its last 5 games, averaging at 1.2 goals per game, which can be improved a little if Cerro Porteno is aiming to stay at the top of the table. Moreover, Cerro Porteno has defeated Nacional in all three previous outings, marking themselves as the favorites to win.
