Olimpia Asunción vs Nacional Asunción: team news and expert analysis
The club from Estadio Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb won the Apertura in commanding fashion, collecting 49 points. They have been less convincing this time around, but are still among the leading sides in the competition. However, after being eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana — losing to Vasco da Gama in the round of 16 — they have dramatically improved since the end of summer. They also defeated Libertad, narrowing the gap to a minimum.
In a hard-fought battle, their neighbors finished ahead of Cerro Porteño in the Apertura (39 points to 38), taking second place. They are now performing at roughly the same level and have also improved sharply since the end of August. However, they could only draw with Sportivo Ameliano.
