We’re on the hunt for a fourth consecutive South American Gem Bet winner since the turn of the year.

The hosts sit at the bottom of the Paraguayan Primera Division having won one and lost seven matches to date.

However, somehow, they are managing to progress well through the Libertadores qualifiers which are taking priority.

All qualifiers are two legs, and with domestic action sandwiched in between, Sportivo have had an easy decision to make.

Sacrifice the league games for now, and concentrate putting all efforts into reaching the Libertadores group stage, which would bring a great financial reward for the club.

They rotated nine of their preferred XI in a 1-0 loss vs Ameliano, but it was worth it as they beat El Nacional.

Having drawn vs Colo Colo 1-1, they head to Chile next week with a job to complete. Their fixture on the weekend vs Olimpia isn’t going to be prioritised.

Olimpia, who are one of the stronger teams in Paraguay, aren’t in any other international competition after losing midweek in the Sudamericana qualifiers.

It’s full steam ahead in the Apertura for the visitors. With a 10-point gap between Sportivo and Olimpia, that should be extended to 13 by Sunday evening.

Back the visitors to win and over 1.5 goals, if they deliver the three points and the scoreline isn’t 1-0 we land a winner.
