Club Nacional Asuncion vs Guarani FC Prediction: Nacional Looking to Forget the Experience of Peru

In the upcoming fixture of the Paraguay Primera Division, Matchday 6, Club Nacional Asuncion will take on Guarani FC at the Estádio Defensores del Chaco in Asuncion. Going in the contest, pressure will be on the home side as they line up at home. Coming off an unexpected defeat in the Libertadores Round 2, Nacional will look to overcome the past performance by performing well in the Primera Division. Taking no credit away from Guarani, the visitors are coming off an unbeaten run in 4 matches. Hence, we are expecting an electrifying contest in Estádio Defensores del Chaco. The last time these two sides played against each other in the Paraguay Cup, Nacional won (2-3).

Going in the matchup, Club Nacional Asuncion is coming off a defeat against Sporting Cristal (5-1) in which Gustavo Caballero scored the only goal from Nacional. Nacional was totally off color in the second half of play as they allowed 5 goals in the second half of play. With just 25% possession and an accurate passing percentage of 53% only, Nacional’s defense was exposed to all heights. Club Nacional has scored 7 goals in its last 5 appearances, averaging 1.4 goals per game. Hence, goal scoring is expected from the home side tomorrow.

Guarani has produced a dream start to the Paraguayan Primera Division, winning two back to back matches in the last 2 weeks. Guarani stands 4th in the table and is likely to excel further by winning against Nacional. In the last game, Guarani FC defeated Luqueno (3-1), in which Facundo Barcelo and Nestor Abraham scored goals. If Guarani presses on the paddle and keeps up the scoring rate we can expect another high scoring event. Talking about the goals scored, Guarani has scored 10 goals in the Primera Division so far, averaging 2 goals per game. With a terrific goal scoring average, Guarani will be backing itself to upset the dented home side.

Guarani and Nacional are likely to produce a competitive contest as always. If we look at the last 5 head-to-head matches between the two, Guarani has managed to win just one match. However, for tomorrow I will be backing Guarani to win or the match to end in a draw. The game total is expected to be over 2.5 goals and both sides to score.

• Double Chance - Draw or Guarani Asuncion for 1.50
• Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.78
• Total Over 2.5 for 2.05
