Internacional will be looking to complete the job when they host Olimpia in the return leg of their Round of 16 Copa Libertadores tie after drawing 0-0 in Paraguay. Hosts Internacional haven’t had a very good run lately, but will head to this game straight from a 1-0 win over Juventude in Serie A. That was the first time they’ve scored in the last four matches, but they have three straight clean sheets. In the last five matches, Internacional have scored two goals and conceded three. Only once in their last 10 matches have they scored more than a goal in a game. It hasn’t really gone well for them at home; in their last nine, they have one win and five losses. The win over Juventude presented their second clean sheet of the last 10 home matches. In the Copa Libertadores, they have a strong run though, with only one loss in the last six. They have three wins and as many clean sheets in those six matches and they head here unbeaten in the last three, scoring 10 goals in that run.

Olimpia go to this game winless in their last two matches; after drawing with Internacional, they suffered a 3-1 loss at home to River Plate. That defeat left the team with just one clean sheet in their last 16 matches and heading to Brazil after a 0-0 draw at home in this tie, leaves them exposed. While they don’t keep many clean sheets, they rarely fail to score; in the last 10 matches, that has happened just twice. The balanced nature of this game means both sides will be cautious, but at the same time try going for the kill, and in Olimpia’s scoring form, this could suit them when attacking. They aren’t the best to bank on when playing away from home though, with four losses in the last six, and having conceded in each of their last seven. They’ve however scored in nine of their last 10 away matches.
