Betting on Resistencia
Resistencia currently holds the eleventh position in Paraguay’s main tournament, and will be hoping to overcome its poor home performance in this Resistencia vs Nacional Asuncion match.
The team from Asunción has achieved only one victory this season, which was achieved in the match against Sportivo Ameliano on matchday 3. In general, it has not shown anything outstanding so far. However, the team is expecting to push through the season with the help of some reinforcements.
The Resistencia vs Nacional Asuncion match will be very important to prove the team’s power to face the historical soccer powerhouses, since in its most recent match against Sportivo Luqueno, Resistencia lost 1-0 and is a team with the second highest amount of goals conceded in the whole tournament, with 10 goals in 6 matches.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Rhuan dos Santos; Ariel Benitez, Rodrigo Mazur, Andres Duarte, Marcelo Raul Benitez; Matias Villarreal, Walter Rodriguez, Diego Aguilera, Diego Godoy; Richard Salinas, Diego Martinez.
Betting on Nacional Asuncion
The team coached by the Paraguayan Pedro Sarabia has had an irregular performance so far, for which the fans’ expectations are pretty low. So far, it has accumulated 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In the last home game against Olimpia, Nacional Asuncion played to a hard-fought 1-1 draw, with the goals coming in the 79th and 84th minutes.
Therefore, in this upcoming Resistencia vs Nacional Asuncion clash, Resistencia is expected to impose itself as a high-level visiting team, giving value to very promising incorporations, such as the striker Gustavo Aguilar.
A major blow in recent days was its elimination in the Copa Libertadores against Sporting Cristal, where the low level of the team was evident when the series ended by 5-3.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Héctor Espínola; Richard Cabrera, Carlos Rolón, Francisco Báez, Ismael Benegas; Carlos Espínola, Juan Alfaro, Willian Candia, Mathías Martínez; Cristhian Ocampos, Francisco Morel.
JefeBet Prediction
Given their situation in the first rounds, we believe Resistencia will win this Resistencia vs Nacional Asuncion as locals.
Apart from the team’s performance, Resistencia is likely to take the points in this clash due to its history and its high-level play style, since it has won twice and drawn once in the last four meetings. Besides, the team has the advantage of playing at home.
Hernán Rodrigo López will surely play a very offensive game and will exploit his team’s full potential in this upcoming Resistencia vs Nacional Asuncion clash, since he no longer has to think about saving his roster for the Copa Libertadores.
Prediction: Resistencia wins by 1-0
