Olimpia vs Atletico Goianiense Match Analysis and Prediction

Olimpia aim to extend their five-game unbeaten streak when they host Atletico Goianiense in the round of 16 Copa Sudamericana on Friday.

In what will be the first leg of their matches, each team has the chance to take an advantage into the second encounter, with the visitors looking to get back to winning ways after successive draws.

Olimpia are currently enjoying a great run of form off the back of five matches without defeat across all competitions, showcasing their consistency and quality overall.

During that period, they have managed to score 16 goals while only conceding four, and that offensive ability is something that could be crucial in this competition.

However, the club had mixed form when it came to their group stage in the Copa Libertadores as they won two, drew two and lost two matches, which is why they ended up in this particular fixture.

Julio Caceres has seen his team finish third in Group G, having missed out on a spot in the top two because of goal deifference.

However, El Decano head into the contest with confidence after a 4-1 win in their most recent game, and with four completely different scorers, they have shown that they can offer a threat across the squad.

Atletico Goianiense dominated their group stage, having lost just a single game out of their six matches, which helped them finish top overall.

They secured four victories and a draw in their other matches, but they do head into the contest off the back of consecutive draws.

Jorginho gave them the lead in the recent league game against Ceara, but they failed to hang onto that as Erick scored an equaliser.

They have managed an unbeaten run of three games heading into this cup fixture, and that is something they will be hoping to extend.

Olimpia news

After scoring as a substitute in their most recent game, Nestor Camacho might be an option in the starting XI for the hosts in this contest.

Olimpia will likely retain their back four, particularly since both full-backs managed to score in that game as well, providing plenty of attacking qualities to the team.

Atletico Goianiense news

Atletico Goianiense were without Dudu or Wanderson in their most recent draw in the league, and they both remain fitness doubts heading into this contest.

Jefferson managed to retain his place at left-back in that game despite Arthur Henrique being available, but the latter could get some match time in this game.

Prediction and Odds

While Atletico Goianiense were more dominant in the group stage heading into this round, the hosts actually have stronger form overall recently.

That could lead to them having plenty of confidence for this contest, but it will no doubt be a closely contested encounter that could lead to a draw.

Odds: 2.15 2.05 2.30
