The Clausura's top two meet at La Huerta with one point between them and Libertad unbeaten at home in the league.

Libertad look the likelier side to avoid defeat, with Olimpia's four wins and a draw in their last five the counterweight and Sebastián Lentinelly replacing Gastón Olveira in goal. Two quoted prices offer something: Libertad to win or draw at 1.53 and Libertad to win at 2.75. The draw-or-Olimpia double chance at 1.40 does not justify that price.

Context

The round's final match pits the table's top two against each other, so it decides which club leads the Clausura into the second half of the season. Libertad's cushion is a single point, and Olimpia are chasing a first spell at the top after taking just three points from the opening four matches. Because the fixture closes round 12, both clubs already know what the rest of the round produced. The narrow margin and the derby setting argue for a tight, low-risk contest rather than an open one.
- Libertad lead the 2026 Clausura table with Olimpia second, one point behind, going into round 12.
- Round 12 opens the second round of the Clausura, and the clásico blanco y negro is the round's closing match.
- Olimpia's target in the fixture is a first spell at the top of the table this tournament.

Olveira's absence puts the clásico, a derby deciding the top of the table, in the hands of a goalkeeper who has been Olimpia's understudy. Parts of the club's support have not been convinced by Lentinelly, and the preparation week was built around steadying him for the occasion. Olimpia's plan to keep an unchanged core elsewhere loses some of its value if the last line changes character. His handling under pressure in a fixture this tight is the clearest new variable in Olimpia's line-up.
- Olimpia face Libertad with Sebastián Lentinelly in goal, replacing Gastón Olveira.
- Lentinelly has drawn criticism from Olimpia supporters and needs a strong showing to cover for Olveira.

Delmás was expected to sit out the clásico because of the under-20 tournament, so his return reopens an attacking place that would otherwise have been settled. He arrived back in the country only two days before kickoff and trained apart from the group, which leaves his sharpness and his starting role open. Olimpia's stated preference is for minimal changes, and a fit Delmás slots into the same attacking unit rather than forcing a reshuffle. Franco Alfonso is the player most directly affected if Delmás starts.
- Eduardo Delmás returned to Paraguay on 26 September after winning gold with the national under-20 team at the ODESUR Games.
- Delmás is in line for a starting role against Libertad, with Franco Alfonso the player he would replace.
- Delmás and Pedro Zarza were due to train separately before rejoining Olimpia's full group.

Sánchez has settled into a first-choice shape, and his intention is to preserve the core that carried Olimpia from a slow start to second place. That matters for the clásico because it suggests continuity in midfield and defence even as the goalkeeper and the returning internationals force changes. The counterweight is that Olimpia must absorb players who were away on international duty and only rejoined full training late in the week. Continuity in the spine looks more likely than a wholesale rethink for a one-off derby.
- Pablo Sánchez is settling on the Olimpia XI for the Libertad match and intends to retain the team's core, adjusting only the positions that require it.
- Olimpia's aim in the fixture is a first spell at the top of the Clausura table.
- Olimpia began the Clausura with three points from the first twelve available and still reached the first-round break in second.
