Nacional Asunción form and stats

Nacional Asunción's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Nacional Asunción collect 14 points from their 7 away matches in the Division 1. 4 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat).

Two away games in a row for Nacional Asunción, whose manager Achucarro could celebrate last time after the win against Olimpia. Those three points felt good as this club had gone five league games without winning. Alfaro came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Olimpia last time out, making the manager Achucarro feel like a tactical genius.

A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Guairena.

Low-scoring game? 8 of this side's latest 10 league matches have had zero, one or two goals.

It's not easy to score on Nacional Asunción as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
