Libertad Asunción usually imposes its authority on its home field through progressive possession, advanced pressing and efficiency in set pieces. Sportivo San Lorenzo relies on an ultra-defensive block to limit damage, but suffers massively in defensive transition once the first goal is conceded. The total control of the hosts will decide the duel without emotions.
Alianza Universidad builds its performance at the Heraclio Tapia Stadium by speculating on the altitude factor and imposing an intense pace from the first minutes. Bentín Tacna Heroica tends to retreat into a low defensive block on foreign soil, but suffers from physical wear and tear towards the end of the match. The constant pressure of the hosts will break the opposing defense.
Granada show a compact defensive block, but suffer in creation in the opposing third, while Mallorca rely on a strict and efficient organization in negative transition. Both coaches prioritize defensive security in the beginning of the season, limiting risks. The difference in caliber will lead to mutual annihilation throughout the match, with few clear opportunities.
Málaga base their developments on an extremely tight defensive block on La Rosaleda, limiting the opponent's transitions. Deportivo La Coruña maintains good ball circulation in the middle, but suffers in terms of penetration in the opponent's third. The match will be played at tactical attrition, being cut by minimal details in the second half. I will bet on two goals
