Olimpia vs Vasco Preview
Olimpia return home hoping to recover from the heavy defeat suffered against Vasco in the previous meeting. Vasco travel with confidence after strong recent results in the Copa Sudamericana and another solid away performance in their last outing.
The head-to-head result still stands out heading into this match, with Vasco beating Olimpia 3-0 at home. Olimpia have picked up wins elsewhere in the group, but Vasco look more settled after collecting points both home and away.
Olimpia Trying To Recover After Heavy Defeat
Olimpia have won three of their last five Copa Sudamericana matches despite the damaging 3-0 away loss against Vasco. Away victories against Barracas Central by 2-1, Audax Italiano by 2-0, and Sportivo Trinidense by 1-0 showed that the Paraguayan side can still compete well on the road.
At home, though, the recent record is less convincing. Olimpia were held to a 0-0 draw at home against Barracas Central, and the attack struggled to create enough pressure in the final third throughout that match.
Vasco Carrying Confidence Into Another Tough Trip
Vasco have looked steady in recent weeks and come into this fixture after a 2-1 away win against Audax Italiano and the impressive 3-0 home victory over Olimpia. The only setback in that run was the 2-1 home defeat against Audax Italiano, although they still created several chances during the match.
Away from home, Vasco remain difficult to break down. The draw against Barracas Central ended 0-0, while the latest away win over Audax Italiano again highlighted their ability to stay patient before taking opportunities in attack.
Olimpia vs Vasco Prediction
The earlier 3-0 victory for Vasco is difficult to ignore, especially with the Brazilian side continuing to produce good results away from home. Vasco to win at 2.80 odds looks like the safest option based on current form and overall balance.
There is also strong value in both teams to score no at 1.80 odds. Olimpia failed to score in their last home game against Barracas Central, while Vasco have already shown they can keep this opponent quiet over ninety minutes.
For the correct score market, a narrow 1-0 Vasco win at 7.50 odds looks realistic. Olimpia should compete harder at home, but Vasco appear capable of controlling key moments and finding the decisive goal.
