Barracas Central visit Olimpia dreaming of a historic upset in Asunción | OneFootball

El Guapo visits the leader of the group and Paraguayan football with the hope of earning a historic win in the Sudamericana.

Barracas Central will face Olimpia this Wednesday starting at 9:00 p.m. at the Defensores del Chaco Stadium, in the second matchday of Group G of the 2026 Copa Sudamericana. Rubén Darío Insúa’s team will try to pull off an upset in Asunción against one of the group’s favorites and keep its international dream alive.

The Paraguayan side’s current form could not be better. Olimpia comfortably leads the local Apertura tournament and comes into this match after opening with a solid 2-0 win over Audax Italiano in Chile, a result that left it at the top of the group. With an established core and high-quality players, the team managed by Pablo “Vitamina” Sánchez will look to make its home advantage and continental experience count.

On the other side, Barracas arrives full of hope after a promising start in the Sudamericana, where it drew 0-0 with Vasco da Gama in a match that left plenty of positive signs. However, its domestic campaign has been inconsistent, alternating good results with uneven performances. Even so, the “Gallego’s” team is clinging to the chance to make history in Paraguay.

With names like Iván Tapia pulling the strings in attack and Jhonatan Candia up front, El Guapo will try to hurt an opponent that also has key figures such as Iván Leguizamón and Sebastián Ferreira. The challenge will be to maintain the intensity and make the most of the chances that come its way.
