Betting on Nacional Asuncion
Nacional Asuncion currently holds the fifth place in Paraguay’s main tournament, and will be hoping for its third home win in this Nacional Asuncion vs Sportivo Luqueno match.
The Asuncion team has three wins this season against General Caballero, Guairena, and Resistencia. In general, it has not shown a great differential so far, but it is expected to win the local tournament with the help of the reinforcements. This is so because it is the last thing the team has left after being eliminated in the Copa Libertadores.
The Nacional Asuncion vs Sportivo Luqueno match will be very important to demonstrate that there is enough material to compete in the league at a high level. In the most recent match against Resistencia, Nacional won by 1-0 with a great goal by Gustavo Caballero in the 55th minute. This way, the team got a point on the road and arrives with less pressure at their home stadium.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Héctor Espínola; Richard Cabrera, Carlos Rolón, Francisco Báez, Gastón Benítez; Gustavo Caballero, Willian Candía, Juan Fernando Alfaro, Mathías Martínez; Francisco Morel, Cristhian Ocampos.
Betting on Sportivo Luqueno
The team coached by the Paraguayan Gustavo Florentín has had, so far, an irregular performance, which is not very encouraging for anyone. Even so, in the last away game against Cerro, Sportivo managed an epic 3-3 draw, equalizing just seconds before the end. The players who scored the goals are Marcelo de la Cruz, Paul Charpentier, and Pablo Aguilar.
Currently, the blue and yellow team has one win, four draws, and two losses. Therefore, Sportivo is expected to win this upcoming away match with the talent of players like Charpentier, who proved in the last match that he should be the undisputed starter.
If the team repeats the approach of the previous match, where high pressure and resilience were its allies, it is likely to spring a surprise.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Gonzalo Falcón; Rodi Ferreira, Sebastián Olmedo, Pablo Aguilar, Joel Jiménez; Jorge Mendoza, Rodrigo Rojas, Julio César Báez, Diego Fernández; Paul Charpentier, Marcelo Pérez.
JefeBet Prediction
Based on its situation in the first few matchdays, we believe that the home team will raise victorious in this Nacional Asuncion vs Sportivo Luqueno.
This is so not only because of its performance, but also because of the quality of the team, which is why Nacional is likely to take the points. However, the team may not have too much of an advantage, considering it has scored only three goals in the last five games. Sportivo Luqueno, on the other hand, will come with high spirits, and will surely propose from the first minutes.
Prediction: Nacional Asuncion wins by 1-0
