Betting on Club Nacional de Football
Nacional has had a decent performance this season in the Uruguayan League, but it needed an almost perfect run to keep up with the leader Penarol, who is seven points ahead. However, a record of seven wins, five draws, and only two losses is nothing to be ashamed of, and now this team will look to end the campaign on a high note in front of its home crowd.
The Whites have not lost in their last eight games, and the latest one was a 2-2 draw against Defensor Sporting, which was the second consecutive match that Nacional finished with that scoreline (both away from home).
Although Nacional will play at home, the match will be held at the Estadio Centenario, the home ground of its opponent. This means that its performance in its own stadium will not count for much, as it had earned 19 out of 21 possible points when playing at the Gran Parque Central in league action.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Sergio Rochet; Leandro Lozano, Fabián Noguera, Diego Polenta, Camilo Cándido; Yonathan Rodríguez, Diego Rodríguez; Federico Martínez, Franco Fagúndez, Diego Zabala; Ignacio Ramírez.
Betting on Montevideo City Torque
This final match will be nothing more than a formality for Torque, who is currently wandering in the middle of the standings and won’t be able to climb higher than seventh place. Although up to five clubs are three points or fewer behind it, Torque’s current position is far from secure.
While this team hasn’t won in the last three league games, with 1-1 draws against Boston River and River Plate and a 3-2 loss to Maldonado, it can be said that Torque has been a rather peculiar team in this tournament.
As a home team, it is the worst in the league with only three points earned, but as an away team, it is the third-best with 13 points in 7 matches. This means that this match played in its stadium won’t give it the advantage they would like.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Gastón Guruceaga; Maximiliano Villa, Hernán Petryk, Joaquín Pereyra, Facundo Rodríguez; Santiago Costa, Álvaro Brun, Kevin Altez; Tiago Palacios, Sebastián Guerrero, Lucas Rodríguez.
JefeBet Prediction
Torque may have had a great away performance in this league campaign, but unfortunately for this team, it will have to play at home this time, strange as it may sound.
Nacional probably won’t mind playing away from home on this occasion, considering it has scored two or more goals in five of the last six official matches, regardless of the venue. Additionally, Nacional has only failed to score in one of the previous nine matches against Torque.
However, it’s worth noting that Torque has also been successful in front of the goal recently, scoring in the last four games, which opens the door to an exciting back-and-forth match. Therefore, at JefeBet, we recommend betting on the Over.
Prediction: Over (NAC 2-1 TOR)
