Olimpia and Colon will battle for three points in a Copa Libertadores matchday three fixture on Thursday.

The hosts come into the game on the back of a 3-2 away victory over Caballero JLM in the Paraguayan Primera Division over the weekend despite being two goals down at halftime. Derlis Gonzalez stepped off the bench to help his side complete a remarkable turnaround in the 85th minute.

Colon shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw with Estudiantes in the Argentine league. They went into the break with a 2-1 lead but Bautista Kociubinski scored the equalizing goal in the fifth minute of injury time.

Olimpia Asuncion will be looking to rejuvenate their continental campaign, as they currently sit at the bottom of Group G on one point. Colon sit in third spot on three points.

Olimpia vs Colón Prediction

Colon have a slight edge in the group, but that could be wiped out if they fail to step up to the plate in Asuncion. The hosts have been the more consistent side in recent weeks and enter the game as slight favorites.

Games involving Colon tend to be high-scoring affairs and we are backing that trend to continue in a narrow win for Olimpia.

Prediction: Olimpia 2-1 Colon
