Betting on Club Nacional
Nacional has been going through the process of rebuilding itself in the latest matches, as the tricolor team has been adding points after a turbulent period that kept them away from the fight for the already-defined Paraguayan title. In the previous match, the team achieved a narrow away victory against Sportivo Luqueño.
With this recent win, Pedro Sarabia’s team reached 27 points in the Paraguayan Primera Division standings, and is now positioned in 5th place in the standings.
However, it is worth mentioning that Nacional will face a significant setback in its next match, as Juan Sebastián Vargas was sent off during the last game.
Possible lineup (5-4-1): Héctor Espínola; Feliciano Brizuela, Francisco Báez, Tiago Caballero, Gustavo Aguilar, Diego Fernández; Edgardo Orzusa, Juan Fernando Alfaro, Claudio Núñez, Juan González Arza; Roberto Martínez.
Betting on Club Cerro Porteno
Cerro Porteño has been dealing with an uphill battle in the last couple of weeks. The Ciclón team of Barrio Obrero has not been able to secure a win since May 7, and its latest result was a 2-1 defeat at home against General Caballero last Saturday.
To make matters worse, Facundo Sava’s team will come into the next game after suffering a brutal 3-0 loss at home to Palmeiras in the matchday 4 of the Copa Libertadores. This result has left its chances of continuing in the international tournament hanging by a thread.
Despite the recent results, this weekend’s visiting team remains being the only runner-up in the Paraguayan League standings with 37 points. Even though its chances of becoming champion have faded away during the last week, Cerro still wants to get back to its winning ways and redeem itself.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Jean Fernandes; Alberto Espínola, Juan Gabriel Patiño, Robert Piris Da Motta, Gabriel Báez; Ángel Cardozo, Wilder Viera, Federico Carrizo, Claudio Aquino; Antonio Galeano, Diego Churín.
JefeBet Prediction
Although we are aware of the tough times Cerro Porteño is going through, we cannot ignore that we are talking about a team that, when we least expect it, shows its fighting spirit. Even though the past week was one to be forgotten, the Ciclón from Barrio Obrero team has everything necessary to regain its position as the runner-up in the Paraguayan League standings.
