El Nacional form and stats

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Nacional playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and one home win.

Let's have a look at how El Nacional performed last season in the Liga Pro: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 6 draws and 11 defeats. In total they scored 41 and conceded 34 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 7 - drew 3 and lost 5 with 21/17 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Delfin, one draw and one win for El Nacional. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
