Club Nacional v Internacional

Nacional vs Internacional Preview

In South America, the Copa Libertadores competition is in full swing with the group stage well underway and beginning to take shape in terms of possible qualifiers for the knockout rounds along with which teams are likely to drop down into the Copa Sudamericana; Wednesday night features this upcoming clash between Uruguayan hosts, Nacional and Brazilian visitors, Internacional.

With only one point separating third-placed Nacional and the Group B leaders, Internacional, this upcoming Matchday 5 fixture takes on even greater importance and both teams will fancy their chances of walking away with the spoils on Wednesday night.

Nacional have suffered just the one defeat in their last 11 matches in all competitions which came in their previous group game in the Copa Libertadores when they were dealt a 2-1 loss away from home at Independent Medellin, but otherwise, the hosts have won six and drawn four of their other games, while six of Nacional's last 11 games have also seen both teams score as well.

Internacional sit top of Group B but the visitors only hold a slender one-point lead over the chasing clubs below them, namely Independiente Medellin and Wednesday's hosts, Nacional, so they know they cannot afford to slip up here if they're to remain in contention for a possible top two finish in the group.

The Brazilian visitors still remain unbeaten during this group stage though having registered victories over Metropolitanos home and away, along with picking up useful points in draws with Independiente Medellin 1-1 and Nacional in a 2-2 draw at home on Matchday 3.

The bigger picture shows Internacional have lost just two of their previous 11 games in the Copa Libertadores overall, while also being unbeaten in their last four away games in this competition and this gives the visitors a chance of a result of some sort at the Estadio Gran Parque Central on Wednesday night.

Nacional v Internacional Verdict

Both Nacional and Internacional have produced some promising results in their respective Copa Libertadores campaigns so far and this upcoming tussle is expected to be a tightly fought affair with both sides looking set to hit the back of the net as well, in what could unfold into being a possible score-draw.

In addition, the previous encounter between Nacional and Internacional finished in an entertaining 2-2 draw and another score-draw could be on the cards again at the Estadio Gran Parque Central on Wednesday night.
