This could be an interesting match as Nacional have their presumed home advantage while Progreso are ahead 3 points in the Primera Division table.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
