Olimpia host Vasco da Gama in a Copa Sudamericana Group G fixture that carries real weight for both sides. The Paraguayan club welcome their Brazilian rivals knowing that the outcome could settle the group's final standings.
Olipia enter this match as group leaders under Pablo Andres Sanchez. Their domestic campaign in the División Profesional has been inconsistent, but their continental record in this group has been the foundation of their position at the top of the table.
Vasco arrive in Asunción under Pedro Emanuel carrying the strain of a two-front season. The Rio club sit second in Group G and need a result to protect their continental ambitions while simultaneously battling for survival in Serie A.
The Brazilians were beaten 3-0 at Santos FC in their most recent Serie A outing on August 16, a result that will do little for confidence ahead of this trip. Pedro Emanuel's squad has looked stretched across competitions, and that fatigue may be a factor here.
Olipia's own domestic form has been patchy — they lost to 2 de Mayo before beating Sportivo Ameliano 2-1 on August 16 — but Pablo Andres Sanchez will take confidence from the group stage record against this specific opponent.
The first leg between these sides at São Januário on August 13 ended 0-0, meaning the aggregate tie is level and everything is still to play for. Whoever wins in Asunción advances in the stronger position.
