After recording 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, the home team finds itself in 5th place with 11 points. In their latest match, they secured a win against General Caballero JLM (0-1) but lost at home previously against Guarani (0-1). They enter this fixture following a commendable home victory over Melgar (4-2). Within the championship, Cerro Porteño has accumulated 7 points from 12 available, having won 2, drawn 1, and lost 1 in their most recent home games. However, they have conceded in 7 of their last 8 matches, indicating vulnerabilities in their defence, though their attack has been effective, scoring in 6 of the last 8 games in this competition. In 8 matches this season, they have only managed to overturn the scoreline once when conceding first.
Cerro Porteño is one of the most established clubs in Paraguay and generally performs well on their own turf. While their defence needs to exhibit greater solidity, the attack aims to maintain consistency as they pursue the top positions. The team enters as favourites, but must prove themselves on match day.
