In the last match, they lost in an away match against Nacional Asunción, by (2‑0).

Cerro Porteño has won 6, tied 3 and lost 1 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 2. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 16 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 4 of their 7 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Playing at home, Cerro Porteño needs to control the actions of the match and maintain ball possession so as not to give space to the opponent. Cerro should fall on top of River Plate with organization in the midfield and strength in the attack, without neglecting the defensive part, maintaining an intense pressing to avoid the counterattacks of the rival. Winning at home is fundamental to the Asunción club's ambitions.
