Melgar v Atletico Nacional Lineups and Other News

Melgar

It’s worth noting that although Melgar have found it tough in the Libertadores, they have only lost one home match in the last seven matches, winning four of them. They’ve certainly not been goal shy, either, scoring 14 in those matches, averaging two per game.

Their star striker and captain Bernardo Cuesta leads the way with seven goals in 2023, including one in the Libertadores, and he’ll be the Peruvian clubs main threat in this encounter.

Atletico Nacional

Atletico Nacional are on track to qualify and three vital points here will all but seal it. They have 35-year-old Dorlan Pabon to thank for their success, who has scored six Libertadores goals in three matches, including a hattrick against Melgar in the reverse fixture. Will he play a significant role again? He has 12 goals in 2023, and it would be no surprise to see him add another in Peru.
