Group B of the Copa Libertadores is among the trickiest, with the three teams below Deportivo Tachira tied on six points. Paraguayan side Olimpia will be hosting Brazilians Internacional on Match Day 5. Both sides are eying three points to join Tachira at the summit. All teams in this pool have lost at least twice and they will know any more losses will be detrimental to plans for advancing to the next stage. Hosts Olimpia have scored the least goals in this group and they don’t have a very good run ahead of this game. In the reverse fixture, they lost 6-1 to Internacional, with their consolation goal coming four minutes to time. Going to this game they have one win in their last five matches and each of the last four have produced over 2.5 goals. They have been weak defensively and go to this game having let in two goals or more in four of their last five matches. In Copa Libertadores, they have five losses in their last seven matches, while they have three wins in 10.

Internacional are coming from two straight losses, one in the Libertadores, 2-1 away to Tachira and most recently away to Gremio in the Gaucho 1. In the last five matches, Internacional have no clean sheet and each of the last four has produced over 2.5 goals. They have lacked consistency, at one point blowing away an opponent and struggling next. Case in point, the 4-0 win over Tachira then thrashing Olimpia 6-1. Notably, these wins have come at home and with Internacional heading to Asuncion, they will definitely hope it turns out better. They have one clean sheet in the last seven Libertadores matches and away from home in this competition, they haven’t registered a win in the last nine. Internacional have failed to score in seven of the last nine away Libertadores matches.
