The Top Nacional vs Medellin Prediction and Betting Tips
Nacional to Win
In the previous matchday, Medellín had a great performance against Internacional, despite the fact that Brazilian teams are always difficult. Nacional was superior to Metropolitanos even when playing in Venezuela.
The Colombian team has had an irregular season and is in 7th place in the Colombian league while the Uruguayan team is in the top of the table in third place. Taking into account all these data our Nacional vs Medellin prediction is that the victory will be for the home team.
BTTS – No
In the first matchday, both teams had a lot of shots but few of them were really dangerous. The Uruguayan team is very solid when playing at home, in the local league they only managed three goals in six home games. For this reason, we expect only one team or maybe none of them to put value in the net.
Nacional to Score First
Evaluating both Nacional vs Medellín line ups, we think the home team will be the first to open the scoring as they did on matchday one after 24 minutes in that match. While Medellín was also the first to open the scoring in their pre-international duel, we had to wait until the second half to see a goal in that matchup.
The Right Nacional vs Medellin Review
Nacional
The Uruguayan team achieved an important victory on the first matchday when they visited the Venezuelan team Metropolitanos. This duel took shape early on when Emanuel Gigliotti took advantage of Cándido’s assist to send the ball into the back of the net.
At the start of the second half, Metropolitanos levelled the score and when it seemed that both teams would share a point, Francisco Ginela scored in the 91st minute to give Alvaro Gutierrez’s team the first three points.
Medellin
The team coached by David Gonzalez had a bad experience in their Copa Libertadores debut. The team did everything possible to take the three points at home, in fact in the 52nd minute Cadavid assisted Victor Moreno to open the scoring.
From then on the Colombian team focused on maintaining the lead and did so very well, but the Brazilian team equalised with only five minutes left in the game.
