Betting on Sportivo Ameliano
La V Azulada has been improving in recent tournaments, and that has kept the team safe from relegation. Its improvement is such that it has even won the Paraguay Cup last year, which is the team’s highest achievement at present. Curiously, Sportivo Ameliano defeated Nacional on penalties in a rather dramatic match.
So, this game, is kind of a rematch. This team is also the country’s Super Champion, having won the Supercopa against Olimpia at the beginning of this year. Sportivo Ameliano is going through what may be the team’s golden era, but this start of the Apertura tournament has not been the best. The team has reached three draws and suffered one loss. Now is the perfect time to awaken, because the only thing missing from their trophy collection is a Primera Division title.
Sportivo Ameliano has not been effective in defense, as it has conceded goals in every match it has played, and recently Resistencia defeated it 0-3. Humberto García has modified the team’s play a bit, and against Luqueño, it almost won, but the opponent’s evening goal come in the 92nd minute.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Joaquín Papaleo; Walter Cabrera, Franco Ortellado, Hugo Benitez, Angel Martinez; Elias Sarquis, Fredderik Alfonso, Edgar Zaracho, Elio Vera; Julio Doldán, Milciades Adorno.
Betting on Nacional
As we have previously mentioned, there is a desire for revenge involved for this match, because Nacional lost the cup against Sportivo Ameliano, and it costed the team its first title in that competition since its creation in 2018.
Meanwhile, in this championship, the team got off to an incredible start, attaining two victories. Yet, it lost its last match against the Apertura champion and current leader, Libertad (1-2). Nacional conceded two goals, but managed to shake off the low blow and close the gap with a goal by Alan Gómez in the 33rd minute. Although the initiative was taken by the Repollero, the team was not consistent in attack, and it shot just a few times (only 3).
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Santiago Rojas; Claudio Núñez, Rolando García, Miguel Jacquet, Bruno Cabrera; Orlando Lugo, Jordán Santacruz, Darío Rios, Mathias Martínez; David Fleitas, Juan Santacruz
JefeBet Prediction
Nacional is going through a better moment than its rivals, but the loss it suffered in its last match showed that its offense is a little weak. We believe that there will be no rematch of the Supercopa and that Sportivo Ameliano will win its first match of the tournament.
Prediction: Sportivo Ameliano 1-0 Nacional.
