Nacional will be looking for a win that could see them book a place in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage on Wednesday night when they play host to Atletico Nacional.
The hosts sit at the bottom of the standings with just one win from five group stage games so far. Pablo Peirano’s men lost 2-0 to Internacional in their last game in the competition, but have since won two successive games. La Academia Tricolor beat Defensor Sporting and Progreso 3-1 on aggregate in the Uruguayan Primera División, and will be looking to extend that run this week.
Meanwhile, Atlético Nacional have been the best side in Group F of the CONMEBOL Libertadores. The visitors are top of the standings with nine points from five games and they have scored the second-highest number of goals (seven). However, with just two points separating them from third-place Bahia, they could still miss out on the knockout stages if they lose to Nacional.
Nacional vs Atletico Nacional Betting Tips: Double Chance Atletico Nacional
Although Nacional have performed poorly in this competition, you can’t write them off at home, where they have won five of their last six matches. They also kept five clean sheets in that period, so it would be surprising to see them lose on Wednesday.
Atlético Nacional have lost each of their last two games, conceding five goals in the process but Javier Gandolfi’s side always perform well against Nacional. The Purples didn’t lose any of the last five fixtures between these two sides, and I expect them to extend that run on Wednesday.
