Club Guaraní has shown inconsistent form in their last five rounds, recording two wins, two losses, and one draw. The team is impressive in attack at home, having scored six goals in their last two home matches, including a resounding 4:0 victory over General Caballero. However, vulnerability has been apparent in away games, where the team conceded against 2 de Mayo and drew with Sportivo Trinidense. In the standings, the team firmly holds the top position with 33 points and boasts the best goal difference in the league (+20). Their home record is exceptional: 6 wins in 8 matches, 21 goals scored with just 6 conceded.
Deportivo Recoleta, on the contrary, is in excellent form, having won four of their last five matches. Their only defeat came in the last round against the powerful Cerro Porteño (2:0). The team is effective in attack, as evidenced by their 4:1 away win over Sportivo Ameliano and three goals scored against Atlético Tembetary. In sixth place with 24 points, Recoleta has a positive goal difference (+3). Their away statistics show 3 wins, 2 draws, and 3 defeats with a goal difference of 11:10, indicating the team's ability to pick up points on the road.
Statistical data highlights Club Guaraní's strength at home. The team scores an average of 2.63 goals per match at their home ground, demonstrating high efficiency. Meanwhile, their defense concedes an average of just 0.75 goals per game. Deportivo Recoleta scores an average of 1.38 goals away but also concedes 1.25. A trend in Recoleta's recent matches has been high-scoring games: in four of their last five matches, both teams have scored, and the total goals in the match exceeded 2.5.
In head-to-head encounters, Deportivo Recoleta holds a clear advantage. In the last three direct clashes, Recoleta has won twice, and Guaraní once. Notably, the away team won all three matches. In the most recent game in August 2025, Guaraní won away with a 3:2 scoreline. However, the two previous meetings went to Recoleta: 0:3 away in May and 1:3 at home in February. This statistics points to a certain psychological resilience from Recoleta in clashes with the leader.
Tactically, the match will boil down to a clash between the hosts' powerful attack and the visitors' effective counter-attacking scheme. Guaraní, playing at home, will control possession and the initiative, creating numerous chances at Recoleta's goal. Converting their opportunities will be key. Deportivo Recoleta will likely prefer sharp counter-attacking football, utilizing the pace of their forwards. The vulnerability of Guaraní's defense in recent away matches gives the visitors hope for a goal, although the leader's home defense looks significantly more reliable.
Considering Club Guaraní's exceptional home power, having scored 21 goals in 8 home matches, and their motivation to maintain the top spot, their victory is expected. However, the current form of Deportivo Recoleta and their attacking efficiency, especially in away matches (11 goals), suggest that the visitors will also manage to score. The head-to-head statistics, where the away team won and goals were always exchanged, also supports this scenario. The recommended bet is Home Win combined with a total of over 2.5 goals. Predicted score: 3:1.
