Betting on Independiente Medellin
El poderoso de la montaña (the Powerful of the Mountain) arrives at this Independiente Medellín vs Atlético Nacional match with a good recent record and high spirits. In their last game against Atlético Huila, the team won 3-2 away from home. The score was tight and was decided thanks to a last-minute goal by Víctor Moreno.
The team led by David González had been inconsistent until a few rounds ago. However, the coach is still in charge due to his good international results and three consecutive victories. Despite the disbelief that prevailed among the fans for a season, González and his players have responded well.
So far, the Antioquia team is in seventh place and hopes to continue in the select group of teams qualified for the playoffs with a victory in the Independiente Medellin vs Atletico Nacional match.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Luis Vásquez; Jordy Monroy, Víctor Moreno, Andrés Cadavid, Yulián Gómez; Felipe Pardo, Daniel Torres, Jaime Alvarado, Miguel Monsalve; Diber Cambindo, Edwuin Cetré.
Betting on Atletico Nacional
Atletico Nacional is undoubtedly one of the toughest historical rivals to beat for any team, which adds a special weight to this Independiente Medellin vs Atletico Nacional match. However, this season has been a headache for Paulo Autuori, who has only managed to win four out of thirteen games.
In their clash against Envigado, the Verdolagas drew 0-0 in a match they dominated possession-wise but failed to convert any of their 14 chances. With this result and pending their match against Union Magdalena, el Rey de Copas (the King of Cups) is currently in the tenth position of the Colombian tournament and has failed to score in two of their last six away games.
For the Independiente Medellin vs Atletico Nacional duel, it is expected that the home team will rely on their memory, knowing well that they have dominance over the Rojo, although they have not won the classic away in the last four encounters.
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Kevin Mier; Andrés Román, Cristian Castro, Cristián Zapata, Danovis Banguero; Nelson Palacio, Sebastián Gómez, Yerson Candelo, Dorlan Pabón, Jader; Tomás Ángel.
JefeBet Prediction
The Verdolagas are going through a tough time, even more so due to the social conditions that have left their stadium empty. However, when it comes to classic matches, the players’ mentality is very different. Strangely enough, the statistics are not in their favor this time around, and they have struggled to win recent games against DIM.
On the other hand, González’s team has had some brilliant performances and maintains the hope of performing well in all the tournaments they compete in. Similarly, they have gone 7 home games without a loss and will seek to extend their streak. In this new classic match, Independiente Medellin vs Atletico Nacional, we believe that the home team will come away with the points. At JefeBet, we recommend placing your bet on the local team.
Prediction: Independiente Medellín Moneyline (DIM 2-1 NAC)
