Command Analysis

Nacional

Current form
Nacional found itself in a very difficult group, where it was initially considered one of the outsiders, inferior in terms of player selection to almost all competitors. Pablo Peirano's team started with two defeats in a row and it seemed that the fate of the Uruguayans in the group was sealed, but there has been progress in recent rounds. Having scored the first point in the away match against Internacional (3:3), the Tricolours sensationally beat Bahia 3-1 in the last round. So far, Nacional is last in the group, but only three points behind the second Bahia, which has already played its match in the fifth round.
Disqualifications and injuries
Corneiro and Mereles are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last two matches of the tournament, Nacional has not lost – a win and a draw.
- Nacional have won their last three home matches.
Approximate line–up: Mejia - Baez, Millan, Coates, Calione, Morales – Recoba, Oliva, Boggio – Lopez, Jaime.

Internacional

Current form
Internazionale was frankly unlucky with the draw for the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, but even if the situation was not the most successful for themselves, the Colorados were still considered clear favorites of the quartet. However, for now, Roger Machado's team does not justify this status and occupies only the third place in the group with five points, but at the same time, the second Bahia, which has already played its match in the fifth round, is only two points ahead. The situation was much more promising recently, but in the last round Internacional lost 1-3 to Atletico Nacional away, suffering the first defeat in the group.
Disqualifications and injuries
Borre, Gomez, Carbonero, Mercado, Valencia and Vitinho are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- In four matches of the Internacional group, they suffered only one defeat.
- In the last four matches, Internacional has scored against Nacional.
Approximate composition: Anthony – Bernabe, Victor, Vitao, Aguirre – Maya, Fernando, Henrique – Wesley, Lucca.

1.85Tip and bets
Nacional has looked more than decent in recent matches – it took away points from Internacional, beat Bahia and joined the fight for the playoffs. Obviously, today the tricolours will take risks and play only to win, only such a result will help to seriously count on the playoffs. Internacional has slowed down recently, Colorados has a lot of personnel losses, it will be very difficult to win back to zero. At the same time, the upcoming match is also extremely important for the Brazilians – an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered with odds of 1.95
Betting on the outcome
Nacional failed in the first rounds, but managed to improve very quickly and is now seriously claiming not only the third place, but also a ticket to the playoffs. Internacional, for its part, has failed on all fronts in the last few weeks and has fallen into a minor crisis, suffering three defeats in a row. It makes sense to take a risk in such a situation and give preference to the hosts, today the tricolours look objectively stronger and are quite capable of fighting for all three points, although the duel will be extremely difficult for each side.
The bet is an Asian handicap (0) on the National. This bet is offered for 1.97
Betting on corners
Nacional will certainly be active at home in attacks, but Internacional will also come to win, there should be a lot of corners.
The bet is a total of more than 8.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.61
