Betting on Tacuary
Just when it seemed like things might be looking up for Tacuary, they suffered another defeat, this time with a 2-0 scoreline against Sportivo Luqueño. They’re still the worst performing team of the season, with just one win in nine matches, one draw, and seven losses for a total of four points.
This team is struggling on defense and, as a result, they’ve conceded the most goals of any team in the league, with a total of 16. Plus, their offense hasn’t been much better, only scoring five goals so far this season. However, their last home game resulted in a victory, which could be a good sign for Tacuary since all five of their goals were scored there. While they perform better at home, they’ll be facing one of the best away teams.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Carlos Servín; Alexis Fernández, Luis Cabral, Nery Bareiro, Igor; Matias Verdun, Marcos Benítez, Marcelo Paredes, Óscar Ruiz; Patryck Ferreira, Edson Carius.
Betting on Nacional
Overall, Nacional has a better record than Tacuary, with three wins, two draws, and four losses in nine matches. However, they’ve suffered two consecutive defeats, including a 4-1 thrashing against Cerro Porteño in their most recent game. That was the second heavy loss they’ve suffered in the 2023 calendar year across all competitions, adding to their 5-1 loss against Sporting Cristal in the Copa Libertadores.
Their games usually don’t have high-scoring results, with six of their nine matches falling within the Under 2.5 margin. It’s worth noting that Nacional has become a force to be reckoned with on the road, with all three of their victories coming away from home, and they’ve only lost one of their five away matches. In fact, that defeat came in their last away game.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Héctor Espínola; Richard Cabrera, Carlos Rolón, Francisco Báez, Claudio Núñez; Mathías Martínez, Juan Luis Alfaro, William Candia, Gustavo Caballero; Gustavo Aguilar, Francisco Morel.
JefeBet Prediction
While both teams have suffered recent defeats, the stats favor Nacional, as they’ve lost fewer games than Tacuary. Nacional is one of the few teams that have shown good away performances, going unbeaten in four games and keeping three consecutive clean sheets before their loss to Cerro Porteño. That’s why, at JefeBet, we predict that Nacional will secure another victory here while keeping a clean sheet.
Prediction: Moneyline of Nacional (TAC 0-1 NAC).
