Velez Sarsfield will be looking to defend their top spot in Group H of the Copa Libertadores when they host Olimpia, who have yet to win in the competition.
The hosts had already beaten Olimpia on the first matchday of the season - they scored four goals without reply and celebrated an emphatic 4-0 away win about a month ago. In the last round, however, they stumbled for the first time in the competition, losing 2-1 to San Antonio Bulo Bulo.
Olimpia, on the other hand, picked up their first point in the competition with a goalless 0-0 draw against Penarol in the last round.
Velez Sarsfield – Olimpia Tips: Velez Sarsfield to Win
The two teams had already met in Group H in the first week of April to kick off the Copa Libertadores. Unsurprisingly, Velez Sarsfield came out on top with an emphatic 4-0 win over Olimpia, and we expect them to beat the Paraguayan side for the second time in a row.
Velez Sarsfield team news
There are reportedly no players injured or suspended ahead of this game. Braian Romero and Maher Carrizo have both netted twice in the first three games of Copa Libertadores.
