It's only round two of the Primera Division for these teams. And fresh optimism here at Estadio Gran Parque Central as Nacional greet Rentistas. Check out this preview!
- Nacional have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
- Nacional have scored more than double the goals of Rentistas.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Only a few days to rest for the home team, as they featured in a Copa Sudamericana match only three days back. Thankfully the previous game, versus Atletico GO, was also a home game here at Estadio Gran Parque Central. The away team is better rested.
Nacional form and stats
The previous season, Nacional's league statistics were 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, results that produced 2nd position in the Primera Division. From these 15 matches they scored 23 goals and conceded 14. Playing at home in the last season Nacional generated 7-0-1 (win-draw-lost) with 16 goals and 3 conceded.
The Nacional supporters got no joy from their last game, a Copa Sudamericana duel also played here at Estadio Gran Parque Central: A 0-1 defeat against Atletico GO. Before that fixture this team had gone eight consecutive league meetings without losing.
A Primera Division defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Deportivo Maldonado.If you like betting on "both teams to score": A review of the 15 latest league matches shows that 12 of them had at least one goal from each team.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Nacional as they are travelling to their away game against Atletico GO in the Copa Sudamericana. That match is four days after this one.
Rentistas form and stats
Let's have a look at how Rentistas performed last season in the Primera Division: They landed a 12th position in the league table after playing out 4 victories, 4 draws and 7 defeats. In total they scored 12 and conceded 21 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 3 and lost 1 with 7/6 goals scored/conceded. Rentistas are generally in trouble as the list of consecutive losses is growing into an ugly monster. Regardless of home/away, the visitors have now lost seven in a row. It's been 8 weeks since they last avoided defeat. (The Deportivo Maldonado game.)
Home advantage was not enough for Rentistas in their previous game as they lost hosting Albion, 2-4. As you can tell from the result, the match against Albion was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Prior to that match, the Rentistas manager Herrera faced defeat when travelling to Penarol and losing 0-2.Head 2 Head
It's not the first time these teams meet on the pitch this season, as the records show this recent match: Rentistas - Nacional 0-4. Head to head data (for the last ten meetings): Nacional won three games, three matches ended in a draw and Rentistas managed four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / seven The matches between these teams have had a tendency to be ill-tempered, having seen 8 red cards from the last ten duels.
