Betting on Nacional
This team is currently ranked 7th in the overall standings, with a decent regular season, but it has closed out strong and wants to keep the momentum going. It has only suffered one defeat in its last six matches.
This team comes into this game on the back of a two-game unbeaten streak, thanks to a 1-0 victory against Sportivo Ameliano and a thrilling 2-2 draw against Guaraní on the road. Playing away is one of this team’s strengths, as it has not performed as well at home.
In fact, out of the eight matches it has played in Asunción, Nacional has only managed to win two, conceding nine goals in the process. This is what has kept the team in seventh place.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Héctor Espinola; Richard Cabrera, Claudio Nuñez, Carlos Rolón, Fernando Román; Gustavo Aguilar, Edgardo Orzusa, Juan Luis Alfaro, Sebastian Vargas; Feliciano Brizuela, David Fleitas.
Betting on Resistencia
The Resistencia team is dangerously close to relegation, and its current streak is not helping it maintain its position. The team has gone winless for seven matches, managing to reach only three draws for a total of three points out of a possible 21.
In its latest match, the team managed to salvage a point in the last minute against Sportivo Luqueño. The game finished 1-1, but the team was down for almost 80 minutes with no clear solutions. This has been a constant problem for the Resistencia team that does not seem to be able of improving.
Its away record is not as impressive. In eight matches, the team has only won twice and lost five times. Moreover, it concedes a lot of goals away, having let in 12 goals while only scoring seven.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Ryhan; Alexis Villalba, Jorge Nuñez, Alan Sombra, Ruan; Walter Rodríguez, Diego Martinez, Marcelo Benítez, Jorge Colman; Naelson Sa Silva, Ariel Benítez.
JefeBet Prediction
A weak home team is up against an average away team. El Nacional is ready to take advantage of Resistencia’s poor performance and secure three valuable points to finish the tournament on a high note. The Tricolor has scored in six games in a row, while Resistencia has conceded 14 goals, so we can expect goals getting scored in this match.
Prediction: Over (NAC 3-0 RES).
