The Best Atletico Nacional vs Aguilas Prediction and Picks
Contents
Aguilas will look to keep their hopes of winning the Colombian Primera A alive on Friday when they travel to Medellin to face Atletico Nacional in a huge Group A fixture. Both teams had sensational regular season campaigns to this is certainly not one you are going to want to miss. Ahead of the game, here are some free tips and predictions to consider.
Aguilas to Win
Aguilas manager, Lucas Gonzalez, will be gutted with how his team have started the post-season after such a tremendous league campaign that saw them finish top of the Primera A table. Despite their poor start, they have a great chance here to put everything right on get themselves back on course for their first-ever Primera A title. Given that anything less than a win is a bad result for Aguilas, we expect them to come out all guns blazing and get the victory.
Over 2.5 Goals
These two sides are two of the best teams in Colombia and they both play football with the kind of flair that you associate with South American football. No one scored more goals (32) than Aguilas during the regular season while Atletico Nacional have caught fire in front of goal as of late and have netted 17 times in their last eight league matches. Expect both teams to go toe-to-toe with one and other and a goal fest to boot.
Aguilas to Score First
If there was ever a team who needed a quick start in a game then it is Aguilas. During the regular season, they made a habit of coming out of the blocks quickly under the guidance of their young manager. Perhaps nerves and tension have gotten the better of them in the post-season but we think they’ll roll back the clock on Friday and start quickly once again.
Atletico Nacional vs Aguilas: A chance to set things right
Atletico Nacional
After finishing third in the regular season, Atletico have started their post-season campaign with two draws. They currently trail Petrolera by two points and would love to stay in striking distance of them with a match between the two sides set to take place in two weeks’ time.
Atletico have also been juggling Copa Libertadores football this season and they are on track to reach the knockout stages in that competition. With that taken care of for now, they will be going full strength for this one to effectively take Aguilas out of title contention.
Aguilas
After their best-ever Primera A season, Aguilas won’t want to go out with a whimper so will be giving this game everything they’ve got. They will be hoping that Marco Perez, who finished the regular season as the league’s top goalscorer with eleven goals, will be back to his best on Friday after firing a blank against Pasto last time out. If he is, then the away team have every chance of walking away with a crucial three points.
