Mercedes desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 3 at 10:00 PM in the Primera C. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Deportivo Paraguayo come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Mercedes travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Deportivo Paraguayo face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Mercedes have won 3 of 4 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Deportivo Paraguayo won 0–2.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Deportivo Paraguayo a slight edge, but Mercedes are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
