Recoleta vs Ameliano: Division Profesional – Clausura Derby Preview

The Division Profesional – Clausura league in Paraguay delivers another chapter of the Asunción Derby as Recoleta hosts Sportivo Ameliano. With both teams eyeing a critical boost in the standings, this mid-table clash promises tension, tactical intrigue, and betting opportunities you won’t want to miss.

Current Form: Who’s Got the Edge?

Recoleta’s season has been a rollercoaster, marked by inconsistency and flashes of attacking promise. Their record—7 wins, 9 draws, and 8 losses from 24 matches—reflects a team still searching for balance. At home, Recoleta has struggled, managing just 2 wins in 12 attempts, but they showed their fighting spirit with a recent 3-2 away win at Atlético Tembetary.

Ameliano, meanwhile, enters the derby in slightly better shape. With 7 wins, 8 draws, and 7 defeats from 22 games, they’re proving tough to beat, especially on the road. Their recent form includes a 4-match unbeaten streak, and they’ve conceded just 0.5 goals per game in their last 10 outings—a defensive solidity that could be decisive in this derby.

Head-to-Head and Historical Trends

Recent encounters between these sides have been tight. Their last meeting ended 1-1, highlighting the competitive nature of this rivalry. Historically, home teams in the Clausura win 41.5% of the time, but away victories occur in 31% of matches—giving Ameliano a real shot, especially considering Recoleta’s home woes.

Both teams have seen their fair share of goals: 77.8% of Recoleta’s matches and 72.3% of Ameliano’s have gone over 1.5 goals, but only about half of their games exceed the 2.5 mark. This suggests a cautious approach could dominate, especially in a derby setting.
