Velez and Nacional to Draw
The two teams are in completely different forms in their national championships right now and, with Nacional being without a loss for a while and Velez struggling to get any wins.
However, Velez is a good team and they will play this game at home, so we can see them doing well, but we don’t see them winning. A draw here sounds like the most reasonable outcome.
Velez and Nacional to Draw at Half Time
Since we expect the two teams to draw at the end, we can also see Velez and Nacional being tied at half time of this game, as is often the case for matches ending without a winner.
In addition to this, half of the games played by Velez and Nacional in Copa Libertadores so far have been draws at half time, so that wouldn’t surprise us much.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
We’ve seen a total of nine goals in two games played by Velez in the group, but that’s not what usually happens in their matches. After all, Velez averaged just 1.42 goals per game in Argentinian Copa de la Liga Profesional, which the lowest average in the league.
Meanwhile, Nacional has gone under 2.5 total goals in both of their Copa Libertadores games and in four of the last six games in Uruguayan Apertura. So, we expect this game to go under 2.5 total goals as well.
Velez vs Nacional preview: A very close and exciting matchup
Velez
With one point from the first two rounds of the new Copa Libertadores season, Velez is not in a great position when it comes to reaching the next stage and their next game against Nacional is crucial for the team. However, Velez is also struggling in Copa de la Liga Profesional, where they have 12 points from 12 games and where they will certainly miss the playoffs.
Nacional
With three wins and three draws in the last six games of Uruguayan Apertura, Nacional seems to be in good form at the moment. Overall, they are fifth in the standings and just two points away from the second place. However, Nacional also has one point from the first two games of Copa Libertadores, just like their upcoming opponent.
