JefeBet Prediction
Nacional is coming with a mixed squad due to its Copa Libertadores match against Olimpia this week. Besides, the team will most likely play without its crowd’s support in the stands. Nonetheless, the team’s record against this rival is very positive and Autuori will probably set up a strong defense.
The Caleños team has not won any of its last three away matches. That is why, at JefeBet, we believe that the points will be shared in this Atletico Nacional vs America de Cali match.
