Atletico Goianiense take on the visitors Olimpia Asuncion in the second leg of round of 16 in Copa Sudamericana. The match will be played on Friday, July 8th at Estádio Antonio Accioly (Goiânia).
Atlético Goianiense are not particularly shining - not now, not in general in history. The "Dragon" back in 2008 played at the level of the 3rd division of the country. And over the next almost a decade and a half, they spent only five seasons in Serie A in Brazil. 9th place in 2021 was actually a real breakthrough, which will be quite difficult to repeat, because now the results in the championship are already very mediocre. At the same time, the Brazilians managed to take advantage of a unique chance to prove themselves in the international arena. Having scored 13 points, it turned out to win 1st place in their group. But in the 1/8 finals, everything was very bad in away first leg.

Olimpia Asuncion looks good this season. The Dean is one of the strongest and most honored clubs in Paraguay. In the championship last season the had not the best results. But at the same time, in 2021, they won the Paraguay Cup and Super Cup. In the new draw so far, the historical favorite is in fairly high places, but, however, with a serious backlog from its neighbor, Libertad - there the distance has already exceeded 10 points. Not the best results were shown by the Paraguayans in the Copa Libertadores. Like Cerro Porteno, Olimpia took 2 wins and 2 draws with a couple of losses, but the Argentines managed to snatch 2nd place in additional indicators. But, having fallen into the Copa Sudamericana, the “Dean”, perhaps, surprised even they fans, confidently beating the Brazilians in Asuncion.
A week ago, the clubs played each other for the first time. Atlético Goianiense failed in Paraguay. The hero of Olympia was the ex-player of Dynamo Kyiv Derlis Gonzalez, who scored and assisted Silva. Olympia have created a handicap for itself, and will play "by the score". So it is logical to wait for the victory of Atlético Goianiense.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Goianiense to win.
