HOW CERRO AND OLIMPIA ARE COMING INTO THE MATCH
Olimpia, three-time champions of the Libertadores in 1979, 1990, and 2002, advanced to the group stage of the 2022 edition from the first phase, after successively eliminating Peruvian César Vallejo, Colombian Atlético Medellín, and Fluminense from Brazil.
As the home team, the Defensores del Chaco, with a capacity for 43,000 spectators, will be filled with Olimpia fans. The match organizers have made 1,700 seats available for Cerro Porteño fans.
In Olimpia, their influential central defender Saúl Salcedo has been ruled out due to muscular discomfort.
Their coach, former Paraguayan international Julio César Cáceres, will replace him with Luis Zárate, recently called up to the Albirroja national team in the last double matchday of the South American qualifiers for Qatar 2022, in which Paraguay defeated Ecuador and lost to Peru.
The midfielder Richard Ortíz, captain and leader of the team, will also be absent due to suspension.
On the other hand, the coach of 'Ciclón del Barrio Obrero', former Paraguayan international Francisco 'Chiqui' Arce, has reserved Bolivian top scorer in the South American qualifiers, Marcelo Moreno Martins. He was not included in the squad that defeated 12 de Octubre (2-0) for the local Apertura championship last weekend.
Cerro Porteño is currently second in the Apertura with 21 points, while Olimpia is fourth with 14 points, at the end of the seventh fixture.
