Patronato vs Olimpia Prediction

Patronato are participating in the Copa Libertadores, despite currently playing in the Argentine second division, following their relegation last season. El Patrón are making their debut in the competition and registered their first international victory last time out against FBC Melgar.

Olimpia, by contrast, are more established in this competition and a win here would take them one step closer to the knockout rounds. However, the Paraguayans have struggled on their travels in recent weeks and are winless in four games on the road.

Although one side could nick a win here, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.

Prediction: Patronato 1-1 Olimpia
