Atletico Nacional Preview
Atlético Nacional has a clear goal for this new league tournament: to forget the embarrassment of not having qualified for the quadrangulars in the last Clausura 2022 after finishing ninth in the overall standings.
Indeed, the team began to meet this objective precisely on matchday 1, when it defeated Once Caldas by a 1-0 score. Still, Atletico Nacional will be hoping to be able to perform better than on this occasion, as the team got outscored in possession, 43% vs. 57%, by its opponents.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Kevin Mier; Andrés Román, Juan Felipe Aguirre, Cristian Castro, Danovis Banguero; Yéiler Góez, Nelson Palacio, Jhon Solís; Dorlan Pabón, Jefferson Duque, Oscar Perea.
Aguilas Doradas Preview
Águilas Doradas had a great campaign in the previous Colombian league tournament, finishing second in the regular phase and earning a spot in the quadrangulars, where they came within one point of qualifying for the final.
This Apertura 2023 looks like another opportunity for this young team to win their first Categoria Primera A title. Still, the team will have to do better in this match, after a 1-1 draw against Junior in matchday 1. It managed to get a point, though, and it was thanks to a goal scored in the last 15 minutes of play.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): José Contreras; Mateo Puerta, Jeison Quiñónes, Jean Fuentes, Yhormar Hurtado; Jesús Rivas, Jaen Pineda, Auli Oliveros; Jhon Salazar, Marco Pérez, Johan Caballero.
JefeBet Prediction
The Verdolagas may not have had the best performance in the previous matchday, but playing at home is something that has benefited Atlético Nacional enormously in its recent matches. Indeed, this team has not lost in its last ten matches played at home, winning six of those matches.
However, the Aguilas Doradas will pose a great challenge as it has lost just one of its last 11 away matches, even if t has drawn in six of them. Of those 11 away matches, nine had fewer than 2.5 goals.
Rionegro will surely be a tough nut to crack for an Atlético Nacional team that did not look good in its debut, so we expect a low-scoring match. Moreover, only one of the last nine league meetings between the two clubs at this venue ended with more than two goals, which encourages us even more to think of that the under will be met.
Prediction: Under (NAC 1 – AGU 1)
