Olimpia will host Melgar at the Tigo Manuel Ferreira on Tuesday in the final round of the group stages of the 2023 CONMEBOL Libertadores campaign.
The home side have had mixed results in their domestic assignments but have performed well on the continental stage and are looking forward to the knockout stages.
They beat Atletico Nacional in their last group game, with three different players getting on the scoresheet including Paraguay international Mateo Gamarra.
Olimpia sit atop Group H with 11 points and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this week.
Melgar, meanwhile, have struggled to impress in the Copa Libertadores this season and are effectively out of the competition. However, they picked up their first win of the competition earlier this month with a 5-0 thrashing of Argentine second-tier side Patronato.
Trending
The visitors sit third in the group table with just four points from an obtainable 15. They can no longer advance in the competition but will secure a Copa Sudamericana spot with a win on Tuesday while a draw will be enough provided Patronato fail to win elsewhere.
