Nacional vs Corinthians Betting Tips & Predictions

These two sides have never played one another before despite both having a good history in this tournament, Nacional having won it three times in their history whilst their opponents Corinthians have won it just once, in 2012. Both will be looking to get a good result here to take their advantage into the second leg, whilst Nacional will have to be careful not to concede an away goal that could settle the game if it ends in a draw after both legs.

Corinthians look the stronger team based on the two sides form, losing only two games in their last twelve, however their away form does not look as good, they have only won two away games in their last six whilst drawing one and losing the remaining three. This may give hope to Nacional that they can get a good result at home in this match, especially considering the fact that they have only lost once in their last six games at home, winning three and drawing two.

Because of their record at home compared to Corinthian’s record away I think Nacional will be able to get the result in this match, despite probably being the weaker team overall. Corinthians have an excellent scoring record so far in the group stages however, and I think they will score at least one goal in this match. For these reasons both teams to score looks good value at 19/20 with Betfair.
