The match will be played from 19:00 at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó Stadium, with the refereeing of the Peruvian Kevin Ortega and broadcast by ESPN, Star+ and Directv Sports.
“Globo” remained close to qualifying for the Copa Libertadores group stage after a grisly loss to Sporting Cristal (1-0) in Peru and will finally play the tournament in which they finished as runners-up in 2015.
Diego Dabove’s squad felt the brunt of elimination as after a strong start to the year they now have four defeats in a row and a total of six games without a win.
Last Saturday they lost in Avellaneda against Racing Club (2-1) and need to recover quickly as they will receive River Plate, leaders of the 2023 Lega Professionisti tournament, for their tenth round on Sunday.
Guaraní, on the other hand, is growing as he has only lost one game this year and after 10 appointments he is the only guard in the Paraguayan tournament with 19 points, six behind Libertad.
To enter the zone completed by Danubio, from Uruguay, and Emelec, from Ecuador, the team led by former Uruguayan striker Hernán Rodrigo López, who had a successful spell at Vélez Sarsfield, had to go through the first phase where he beat Sportivo Ameliano 3 – 1.
