The Right Picks and Betting Tips for Nacional vs Sporting Cristal

Nacional to Win

The host has a bit of an advantage playing with the support of their home fans, in the previous round they showed that they are a different team when they play in their home stadium. We expect to see different Nacional vs Sporting Cristal line ups in the two matches.

On this occasion, the away team will try to keep a clean sheet to define the series at home, while the host must get a good result, as the second leg at 10,000 feet altitude will be more difficult.

Under 2.5 Goals

The Paraguayan team has a good average of shots on target per game, which even exceeds the amount of total shots of their next opponent. Bearing in mind that the away team will play defensively to keep a clean sheet, we may only see 1 or 2 goals.

BTTS – No

For our latest Nacional vs Sporting Cristal prediction, we will take into account that the Peruvian team barely conceded 1 goal in three games and that their goalscoring average barely exceeds 1.00 per game.

The host scored at least 1 goal in all their matches this season. We think it will be difficult for the Paraguayans to overcome Sporting Cristal’s defence, but it will be more difficult for the away team.

Nacional vs Sporting Cristal Preview: Last Challenge

Nacional

The Paraguayan team did very well to pass their first test, as after losing 2-1 in the first leg against Sport Huancayo, the team managed to turn the result around at home. This time the match in anger will be at home, so they will have to give a hard blow to close their qualification in Peru.

The team coached by Pedro Sarabia has made a great effort to fulfill its objectives in the continental tournament and to score as many points as possible in the local tournament. So far Nacional has 6 points out of 9 in the local tournament.

Sporting Cristal

The Peruvian team wants to participate in this year’s Copa Libertadores but first, they have to overcome their first big challenge against the Paraguayan team. This season Sporting Cristal played three matches, winning two and drawing one.

Yoshimar Yotun and Leandro Sosa are the only players from the Peruvian team who have put the ball in the net. Goalkeeper Renato Solis has been key to his team’s great start, averaging 4.00 saves per game.
