Atlético Nacional vs Peñarol Betting Tips and Predictions

Both teams are performing well domestically with Nacional in 2nd place, and Peñarol in 3rd respectively. But league form counts for little in the Copa Libertadores.

Nacional are in fine form both in the Copa Libertadores and Primera A this season. They were on a 6 win streak before a shock 2-0 loss away to Deportes Colima ended that. They responded well going onto win their next 5 games in the build up to this game against Peñarol.

19 year old striker Marlos Moreno has been in fine form this competition scoring 2 goals and assisting twice in their opening 2 games. Peñarol will be hoping to keep him quiet.

The last time Uruguayan Peñarol visited Estadio Atanasio Girardot it ended in a 3-0 defeat for the visitors. They’ve struggled so far in this Copa Liberadores group returning to the competition after a 2 year absence. With an opening day 1-1 away draw in Peru against Sporting Cristal, followed by a disappointing 1-0 loss to Argentinian outfit Huracán at home.

The visitors will be hoping other players can step up to help Luis Aguiar their only scorer on one, who netted in their opening game. Peñarol need to pick up some points in Medellin if they hope to remain in the competition, but against an in form Atlético Nacional that is no easy feat.

Peñarol are struggling for points and goals, and it looks doubtful they’ll add to either tally at Estadio Atanasio Girardot. Get Atlético Nacional to win to nil at 11/10 with bet365.
