Atlético Nacional

LWLWLL

Atlético Nacional won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 1-0 Copa Libertadores defeat last time out to Bahia.

In that game, Atlético Nacional managed 55% possession and 10 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. For their opponents, Bahia had 13 shots on goal with 4 on target. Willian José (71') scored for Bahia.

It has been all too rare in recent games where Atlético Nacional haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Atlético Nacional have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 10 goals on the way. Previous results aside, time will tell if that pattern will be maintained here in this game.

Internacional

LDDWWL ⚖

After a losing effort in their last game against Corinthians in Serie A competition, Internacional will be aiming to make amends here.

In that game, Internacional managed 35% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. For Internacional, the goals were scored by Braian Aguirre (38') and Thiago Maia (42'). Corinthians got 22 shots at goal with 9 on target. Yuri Alberto (25', 64', 94') and Igor Coronado (103') scored for Corinthians.

Proving their penchant for action-packed matches, we’ve had goals 20 times in the previous six matches in which Internacional have taken to the field, making it a mean average of 3.33 goals each clash. Opposing teams have got 10 from this total.

🤜🤛 Head to head

The last league meeting between these sides was Copa Libertadores match day 2 on 10/04/2025 when it finished Internacional 3-0 Atlético Nacional.

📰 Team News: Atlético Nacional

The Atlético Nacional manager Javier Gandolfi has zero fitness concerns to speak of before this match thanks to a fully healthy group available to select from.

We think that Los Verdolagas look set to make use of the 4-2-3-1 system in the match, utilising David Ospina, Felipe Roman, Juan Jose Arias, William Tesillo, Camilo Candido, Mateus Uribe, Jorman Campuzano, Andres Sarmiento, Edwin Cardona, Dairon Asprilla and Kevin Viveros.

📰 Team News: Internacional

Internacional boss Roger Machado has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Gabriel Mercado (Cruciate ligament tear), Sergio Rochet (Broken hand), Rafael Borré (Hamstring injury), Johan Carbonero (Hamstring injury), Diego Rosa (Hamstring injury), Vitinho (Broken finger), Bruno Gomes (Cruciate ligament tear) and Lucca Drummond (Cruciate ligament injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We reckon that Colorado might make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing Anthoni, Braian Aguirre, Vitao, Victor Gabriel, Alexandro Bernabei, Bruno Henrique, Fernando, Tabata, Alan Patrick, Wesley and Enner Valencia.

💭 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Internacional have it in them to score a goal against this Atlético Nacional team, but that realistically won’t be enough to prevent defeat.

Our tip is for a narrow 2-1 victory for Atlético Nacional when the full-time whistle blows. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
