Currently, the home team occupies 11th place, having garnered 8 points from 2 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses. In their penultimate outing, they managed a home draw with Trinidense Sportivo (1-1), followed by an away victory against Olimpia (0-1) in their last match. Nacional’s performance at home has been less than imposing, achieving a mere 4 points from 12 possibles in their recent home fixtures, consisting of 1 victory, 1 draw, and 2 losses. Their defence has been vulnerable, having conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, though their attack has found the net regularly, scoring in 7 of their last 10 games. Notably, in these 10 games, they conceded the first goal on 5 occasions but failed to turn the score around.
Nacional Asunción enters the field eager to solidify its position within the top ranks of the Paraguayan Championship. Demonstrating resilience at home, following an important win against Olimpia, they will seek to maintain their momentum in front of their supporters. The key for Nacional will be controlling the match and minimising defensive lapses to maximise their chances of securing three points at home.
