Nacional Heading into Battle
Key Stats
– Despite their losing streak, Metropolitanos have managed to score in 11 of their last 13 matches, indicating their persistent attacking efforts.
– Nacional have managed to net goals in their last 10 matches consecutively, underscoring their consistent attacking prowess.
In the throes of the Copa Libertadores, Nacional are ready to take on Metropolitanos at their home turf on Wednesday. The Uruguayan powerhouse seeks a victory that would pave their way into the knockout stages. However, for the Venezuelan side, Metropolitanos, this stands as their farewell fixture for the year, considering their previous five games in Group B ended in defeat.

Having racked up 29 points from 15 matches in the Torneo Apertura, Nacional are looking sturdy this season, finishing second in the competition. They’ve also put on a commendable display in the Torneo Intermedio, Uruguay’s top flight tournament, where they managed to secure four points from three games and position themselves third.
Despite suffering a 3-0 loss to Liverpool recently, Nacional’s morale remains unshaken. Their aim is resolute – they want to secure their position in the Copa Libertadores, where they presently hold third spot in Group B. With just two points separating the top three teams, victory in the next match against Metropolitanos could solidify Nacional’s spot in the top two. Despite having a safety net in the Copa Sudamericana, they’re primarily set on winning this tournament, with the last victory dating back to 1988.
Metropolitanos, on the other hand, have had a turbulent journey. They managed to secure a spot in the tournament by clinching their first victory in the Venezuelan top flight. Despite the historic accomplishment, their 2023 continental campaign has been a series of setbacks, with five consecutive defeats where they scored four times and conceded 10 goals. Four of these losses were by a narrow margin, the outlier being a 4-2 loss to Independiente Medellin. Their lack of victories in the past 19 games, yielding seven wins and 12 losses, is a source of concern for their coach, Jose Maria Morr.
Stats Talk
The stats reflect Nacional’s robust home record, with the team undefeated in 30 of their last 32 home matches. Furthermore, they’ve netted goals in 26 of their last 28 home matches, and have come out victorious in 8 of their last 10 home matches, scoring over 1.5 goals each time. Their recent form has seen them score in ten consecutive matches, showcasing their persistent attacking threat.
In contrast, Metropolitanos’ stats reveal a more conservative playing style. In 10 of their last 12 away matches, the sum of goals was under 2.5, and in 10 of the same set of matches, the sum of goals was under 3.5. Despite their defensive approach, Metropolitanos managed to score in 11 of their last 13 matches, showing their ability to find the net even in challenging circumstances.
Predictions Based on Performance
Looking at the teams’ recent form and past records, it’s safe to predict a game that will exceed the average goal count. We’re predicting over 3.5 goals for the match, given that Nacional have scored in their last 10 matches consecutively and have a home record of scoring more than 1.5 goals in 8 out of their last 10 matches. Metropolitanos, despite their defensive approach, have also managed to find the net in 11 of their last 13 matches. Their need to exit the tournament with dignity might just push them to take more attacking risks than usual.
Although Metropolitanos are eager to seek redemption and secure their first points of the campaign, the overwhelming form and home advantage of Nacional might be too much for the Venezuelans to surmount. Given the stakes, Nacional are expected to bring their best, and their consistency in front of the goal could prove lethal for Metropolitanos. This is why in the correct score market we are going for a 3-1 win for Nacionals, which also match the analysis just done.
