As you are probably well aware, last week I’ve had a very
solid bet, full of confidence, against Nacional Montevideo. And unfortunately,
that bet went to the crapper, after Atletico Nacional received a red card in
the first minute of the game. So it would be pointless talking about that game,
even though it is worth mentioning that despite having a man-down from the
start, the Colombians were still able to recover from a 0-2 deficit and tie the
game. Tonight, Nacional will still rest most of their regulars, as they only
have 1 point in the group, and are focusing on the local league. Furthermore,
from last week’s team, they will add 3 more youngsters, as 3 players are
forbidden by the law to play in Uruguay. And on top of all this, their form
couldn’t get much worse than this, as they’ve lost 4 of their last 6 games.
Atletico will use a similar squad to last week’s one, and
there should definitely be a revenge factor here, as the 2-2 in Colombia
against a team of youngsters certainly doesn’t sit well with them. They also
need to keep in touch with the leaders, Gremio, and their main rivals for
qualification, Newell’s Old Boys. All in all, I have pretty much the same
confidence as last week, and this time we also have a nice line. GL!
Atletico DNB @ 1.84, 5/10
