Ameliano vs Nacional Asuncion Prediction & Betting Tips (19 January)

Although results have picked up a bit recently, the fact that Ameliano have recorded just two victories in their previous 11 top-flight home fixtures, losing on five occasions, goes a long way towards explaining why they find themselves locked in a difficult battle. As for title-chasing Nacional Asuncion, they have triumphed four times in five trips at this level of late.

Over the course of their last 13 matches at the top table of the Primera Division, Nacional Asuncion have not been involved in too many thrillers, with two goals or fewer being served up ten times. It has been a similar story in Ameliano home games at this level of late, as under 2.5 goals has been the order of the day 13 times out of a possible 18, so this pattern is expected to continue.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from each of the previous five Ameliano matches in the Primera Division, so there is no reason to see this pattern changing against Nacional Asuncion. One reason for this is that it has also been the case in each of the Toffees’ last three away games at this level, so both teams are on the same page.
