Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Nacional - Progreso!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Nacional and Progreso.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Nacional form and stats
Nacional must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Primera Division games here at Estadio Gran Parque Central.
The Nacional goalkeeper Luis Mejia Cajar is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 249 minutes without conceding a goal in the Primera Division.
The home team returns to Estadio Gran Parque Central after being equal after 90 minutes with Plaza Colonia (placed 8th) on their last time out; the Primera Division game ended 0-0. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Torque in a game that was won 2-0.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Nacional matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, one draw and zero defeats (from one game).
Nacional are traveling soon after this match as the Primera Division match at Fénix awaits in three days.
Nacional have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio Gran Parque Central with 5 goals in 3 league matches. 3 goals have been conceded.
