With A Big Away Win Audax Could Qualify.
By: Mauro | April 23rd, 2008Club Sportivo Luqueño vs. Audax Club Sportivo Italiano (Estadio Cerro Porteño, Asunción, Paraguay)
Tape delay at 8:00pm, Thursday the 24th on Fox Sports Español.
For Audax, this could possibly the biggest match of the season for them. They must win to qualify outright. With a draw, Audax have to wait and see what the outcome of the Sao Paulo - Atlético Nacional match.
But we have to consider that they are the visiting team and away wins are quite tough. Still, there were two away wins in last week’s matches and there’s nothing keeping Audax from winning this match especially since Luqueño have nothing left to play for.
To add to their woes, Luqueño have just dismissed their coach, Argentine Daniel Lanata, due to poor results and a poor standing in their league. Lanata was replaced by Julio Carlos Gómez Cáceres who began his tenure as coach this last Monday.
Bottom Line: Audax need this win on the other hand Luqueño is the home side. My pick: 1-1. Just like last night’s result in Santiago, neither team will be able to win it.

[...] I had this one ending as a draw. For this one post, I totally suck. Ah well, you can’t guess them all. [...]
