Nacional form and stats

Nacional participated in Copa Libertadores the last season, where they reached the 8th finals and lost against Internacional.

Nacional are steadily winning Primera Division games and points here at Estadio Gran Parque Central. 4 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats is the summary from 6 games. On the other hand, in the Copa Libertadores, Nacional has performed like this (both home and away): 4 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. Nacional has a nice streak going on as they have played twelve consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Rentistas defeat 226 days ago. In general it's been a long time since Nacional tasted defeat here at Estadio Gran Parque Central, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league.

A strong away win for Nacional against Estudiantes Mérida the last match, as Thiago Vecino (2) and Renzo Orihuela were on target. A strong away win before that one, visiting Racing Club and winning 1-0.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Nacional as they are travelling to their away game against Boston River in the Primera Division. That match is three days after this one.

Goals decide football matches and Nacional are scoring many of them at home; 14 on target from 6 league matches. From these home matches, Nacional have conceded only 5 goals.

Racing Club form and stats

Racing was sent out of Copa Libertadores in the 8th finals last season, when River Plate turned out to be too strong.

As the visiting team in Superliga matches, Racing Club have produced an overall stat of 4-7-1 so far. When we have look at the Copa Libertadores statistics, we find 3W-0D-1L. This is both home and away. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Racing, as they have won on their previous two travels.

It's the second away game in a row for Racing, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Alianza Lima in the Copa Libertadores last time out. The game before that, in the Copa Libertadores, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Nacional.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Racing have scored 15 goals in 12 league games away. As opposed to that, Racing Club have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Racing Club - Nacional 0-1. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: eight wins for Nacional, one draw and one win for Racing Club. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
