Nacional Cruzeiro betting prediction

Despite the 1 goal disadvantage from the 1st leg match, the home team has the advantage of having scored 1 goal in the away first leg match. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a away draw against Sportivo Trinidense by (1‑1). Nacional Asunción has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 19 of the last 19 have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 14 out of 19 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Nacional Asuncion plays their seventeenth appearance in 2017, their first game against their fans in this edition of the Copa Sudamericana, trying to maintain the good performance that has been showing in the last matches of the Paraguayan Championship to reverse the advantage built by the Brazilians in the first leg. The team lives their best moment of the year as they have not lost three rounds and have won three of their last five games. As principal, the team have played seven games since the beginning of the year, accumulating four defeats, two draws and just one win. For this game, the coach should keep the team in 4-4-1-1 or in 4-4-2.

Confirmed Lineup: Santiago Rojas, Víctor Dávalos, Rodrigo Rojo, Herminio Miranda Ovelar, Miguel Jacquet, Jonathan Santana, Miguel Paniagua, Francisco García, Leonardo Villagra Enciso, Juan Salgueiro, Adam Bareiro.
