Club Tacuary vs Oriente Petrolero Prediction: Both Sides Struggling to Perform on the Continental Stage

In the upcoming fixture of Copa Sudamericana, Matchday 3, Club Tacuary will be hosting Oriente Petrolero at the Estadio Defensores del Chaco in Asuncion. With both sides struggling to make an impact at the continental stage, the upcoming matchup could result in a low scoring encounter. Moreover, the two sides will be playing each other for the very first time, which makes the upcoming matchup an interesting one to witness and bet on. 

Club Tacuary - Coming off Three Consecutive Defeats (LLLWL)

The Paraguayan side will be hoping for some light at the end of the tunnel, as it has lost three consecutive matches. In the ongoing Paraguayan Division, Tacuary has managed to secure just two wins and 8 points from 15 matches played. Secondly, Tacuary has failed to score in 4 of the last five matches which resulted in defeats. Hence, Tacuary will be under reasonable pressure ahead of the continental fixture. Considering the poor form of Tacuary, very less fans are likely to appear to support the home. With just 1 goal scored in the last 5 matches played, Tacuary averages 0.20 goals per game. Apart from the scoring average, the conceding average is even worse as Tacuary has conceded 7 goals in last five, averaging 1.40 goals. In order to start winning at any stage, the Paraguayan side will have to improve its offensive gameplay.

Going in the matchup, Oriente Petrolero is coming off a goalless draw against The Strongest (0-0), which was certainly unpredicted.
