Betting on Nacional
Nacional had managed to go unbeaten in three matches, including two consecutive victories, but that streak came to an end last weekend when they lost 2-1 to Libertad. That was their sixth defeat of the season, leaving them in the bottom half of the standings ahead of this match.
However, there may be some hope that this match will help them turn things around, considering they will be playing at home and in their last home game, they secured a 2-0 victory against General Caballero. However, that was their only win in seven home games, and six months had passed between their last victory and that one. It is important to highlight that Nacional is that in their last two home matches, which they did not lose, they scored two goals per game.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Héctor Espínola; Richard Cabrera, Carlos Rolón, Claudio Núñez, Fernando Román; Jorge González, Juan Luis Alfaro, Edgardo Orzusa, Mathías Martínez; Jordán Santacruz, David Fleitas.
Betting on Club Sportivo Ameliano
Sportivo Ameliano has been standing out this season, being one of the teams that has lost the least in this campaign. With a record of five wins, seven draws, and three losses, they register a total of 22 points and are in the middle of the standings. They are currently on a three-match unbeaten streak, with one win and two draws.
They secured their last victory against Sportivo Luqueño with a 2-0 scoreline, ending a four-game winless streak. They have surprised as visitors, being the only team that remains unbeaten in that condition, with three wins and four draws. With those numbers, they are the fourth-best away team, and it’s worth noting that they have scored at least one goal in every away game.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Joaquin Matias Papaleo; Ángel Martínez, Hugo Benítez, Franco Ortellado, Marcos Martinich; Alejandro Samudio, Edgar Zaracho, Blas Cáceres; Elias Sarquis, Giovanni Bogado, Sergio Bareiro.
JefeBet Prediction
This is a winnable match for either team, but after taking a closer look at Sportivo Ameliano’s away stats, it’s clear that they’re not an easy opponent to beat. They might be able to keep their unbeaten away record intact, but they won’t be adding another victory to it. It’s going to be a tough battle on the pitch, but both teams will be giving it their all to take all the three points.
Prediction: Draw (NAC 1-1 AME).
