Cerro Porteno vs Resistencia SC Prediction: One Sided Clash in General Pablo Rojas Stadium

In the upcoming fixture of the Paraguayan Primera Division, Matchday 5, Cerro Porteno will be up against Resistencia at the General Pablo Rojas Stadium in Asuncion. Going in the fixture, Cerro Porteno will be carrying the same bunch of players from the Libertadores contest. Resistencia on the other hand is still struggling to be consistent in the Primera Division contest. Cerro Porteno has always dominated the table standings in Primera Division. Now, Cerro Porteno stands 2nd with 2 wins and 8 points from 4 matches played. Cerro Porteno continues its unbeaten run with the home fixture lined up. In the last 4 direct encounters, Cerro Porteno has dominated Resistencia, winning on all four instances. 

Going in the matchup, Cerro Porteno is coming off a win against Curico Unido (0-1), in which Juan Patino scored the only goal in the 89 th minute of play. With the presence of Baez, Churin, Lucena, and Espinola in the side, Cerro Porteno will be prepared to dominate with a resilient approach at home. Robert Morales, the leading goal scorer for Cerro Porteno will be in action and is likely to contribute value to the team’s success. Cerro Porteno averages 1.2 goals per game in the last 5 matches played including the Libertadores. Moreover, the conceding average is just 0.2 goals per game, which is certainly a match-winning conceding average .

Going in the matchup, Resistencia is coming off a thrashing defeat against Guarani (0-4) and a win previously against Sportivo Ameliano (0-3). Resistencia is yet to be consistent in the tournament, as it has lost three of the last 5 matches played. So far in the contest, Richard Salinas, Diego Martinez, and Alan Pereira have been the goal scorers. Talking about the goal scoring and conceding average, Resistencia has scored 3 and conceded 8 goals in the last 5 fixtures. Hence, Resistencia is likely to concede over 2 goals from Cerro Porteno.

Going in the matchup, Cerro Porteno will be looking to accelerate from where they left last time. With a certain goal scoring average, Cerro Porteno is likely to score over 2 goals. However, the opposition is unlikely to score, as they haven’t scored much in recent matchups. Hence, I am predicting a game total under 2.5 goals and only the home side to score. 

• Both Teams to Score - No for 1.57
• Total Under 2.5 for 2.012
• Correct Score 2-0 for 5
