Odds: 3/7 @ 888sport

In a Copa Sudamericana battle that could prove to be an enjoyable affair late on Tuesday night, Nacional will host Union Santa Fe for a first-leg meeting.

Starting with the hosts, managing to pick up some perfect momentum last week, Nacional are in the midst of what has become a superb run of form. In their first three domestic matchups since opening this season’s Uruguayan Primera División campaign, they have won each of their first three contests, keeping a clean sheet in each of those consecutive victories. Despite eventually seeing their Copa Libertadores adventure come to an end earlier in the year, Nacional have still won six of their last seven matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Tuesday’s hosts have continued to shine while on home soil. Last seen in front of their own supporters picking up a 3-0 romp against River Plate, Nacional have now won each of their last three home fixtures by an aggregate score of 9-0.

As for the visitors, managing to make an immediate return to winning ways with a stellar display last week, there is no doubt that Union Santa Fe will be looking to build off of that result here. In their opening five domestic showdowns from Argentina’s top-flight, they have recorded two wins, one draw and two defeats, scoring eight and conceding 11 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of seven from a possible 15, they currently sit 11th in the standings and firmly sat in the top-half of the table. As for their recent run of results, last seen grabbing an impressive 2-1 win away at Boca Juniors, Union Santa Fe have lost just one of their last four matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be noted, with Tuesday’s guests seeing each of their last six outings finish with over 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
