Buenos Aires, April 14 (NA) – Barracas Central will play against Olimpia of Paraguay this Wednesday night for the second matchday of Group G of the Copa Sudamericana. According to the Argentine News Agency, the match, scheduled for 21:00, will be held at the Defensores del Chaco stadium and can be watched on ESPN 2 and Disney+ Premium. The appointed referee is Colombian Andrés Rojas, while his compatriot David Rodríguez will officiate from the VAR. With a good run in the local tournament and after securing a valuable draw against a strong rival, who fielded substitutes, in their historic debut in an international competition, Barracas Central visits its Paraguayan counterpart in search of advancing in the Copa Sudamericana. The “Guapo,” which plays its home Conmebol matches at the Florencio Sola stadium in Banfield, sits in seventh place in Zone B of the Apertura Tournament with 19 points, in a qualifying position with three matchdays left in the championship, and drew 0-0 with Vasco da Gama in the last round. Furthermore, as the Brazilian team lost 2-1 to Audax Italiano of Chile today, a victory for the team coached by Rubén Darío Insua would give them a significant advantage over the Brazilian side and would see them top the group with four points. Meanwhile, Olimpia picked up the only win in the first matchday of Group G, defeating the aforementioned Chilean team 2-0, and is also in excellent form in the Paraguayan Apertura: they lead the tournament with 39 points and just one defeat in 16 matches, and hold a six-point lead over Cerro Porteño, their main competitor.
