Puerto Cabello vs Nacional Prediction & Betting Tips (21 February)

Nacional have every chance of going up this Copa Libertadores season, with the Nacional cause being helped by a seven-match unbeaten run on their travels that has included five wins out of six recently. Puerto Cabello come into this contest in pretty poor form, with the Puerto Cabello collecting just two points from a possible 15 as their campaign drifts towards a conclusion.

Puerto Cabello are rarely involved in home games containing four goals or more, with just three of their previous 20 matches falling into this high-scoring category. The same is true of Nacional on their top-flight travels, with only two of their most recent 20 trips producing over 3.5 goals, so any deviation from this pattern would have to be seen as a bit of a shock.

High-flying Puerto Cabello are one of the most exciting sides to watch in the Copa Libertadores at the moment, as they have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes in 14 of their previous 17 matches. Given that Nacional have done the same in seven of their last eight away games at this level, it would come as a bit of a surprise were either keeper to pitch a shutout.
