Command Analysis

Nacional

Current form
Nacional failed in the Apertura last season, but had a strong Clausura and finished in eighth place in the summary table, but due to the fact that they reached the finals of the Paraguayan Cup, they managed to qualify for the Copa Libertadores. In the Clausura, which recently started, Nacional has already held three rounds, where it took only one point, but in the last two matches it met Libertad and Cerro Porteño, against which it is extremely difficult for many representatives of the Paraguayan championship to count on points.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last three matches, Nacional has not won – two defeats and a draw.
- In four of the last five matches, Nacional have not scored
The approximate line-up: Rojas – Benitez, Monteagudo, Torres, Alfaro – Quintana, Ramirez, Jara – Arroix, Duarte, Caballero.

Alianza Lima

Current form
Last season, Alianza did not achieve serious success in the Peruvian championship, although it is traditionally considered one of the main contenders for the championship title. The blue-whites unsuccessfully held both the Clausura and the Apertura, but they took the fourth place in the summary table with great difficulty and ended up in the Libertadores Cup qualification. Nestor Gorocito's team prepared for the start of the selection through friendly matches, in the last of which they beat Ecuador's Aucas 2-0.
Disqualifications and injuries
Henrique, Huaman and Navea are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last three matches of the "Alliance" got only one victory.

2.75Tip and bets
Nacional did not get the most convenient opponent in the qualification – Alianza has much more experience in the international arena, and significantly surpasses the Paraguayans in the selection of players. The only way to beat such an opponent is to win at home, in Lima, without the advantage of the "tricolor", there will be absolutely nothing to count on. Nacional is capable of playing a strong match and winning, Alianza is very vulnerable away, it makes sense to take a chance and give preference to the hosts.
We believe that the hosts have a better chance of winning. The forecast is an Asian handicap (0) for the National. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.61
Bet on the total
Nacional will have to take risks today – any result other than victory is almost guaranteed to leave the Paraguayans out of qualifying after the second leg, and the Alliance is almost flawless at home. It is unlikely that the blue and white will be able to win back to zero in Asuncion, but at the same time they are quite capable of responding, there are very high-level players ahead, and National is not particularly reliable in defense.
The bet is that both will score. This bet is offered for 2.19
Betting on corners
Nacional will probably play number one at home and will spend a lot of time attacking, the hosts should win confidently from the corners.
The bet is a victory for Nacional on the corners. This bet is offered for 1.61
