Nacional de Football

DDWWDW 📈

Nacional de Football, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 0-1 Primera Division (Apertura) success versus Progreso.

Nacional de Football have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, netting every time they’ve gone out to play in their last 6 matches.

They have claimed a sum of 8 during that period and have conceded a total of 5. It will be interesting to see if that trend will end up being sustained here.

Looking at their past form shows that Nacional de Football:

• are winless against Peñarol in their last 2 league games.
• are undefeated in their previous 12 home league matches. A very good run at home.

Peñarol

WDLWLW

For Peñarol, the goals were scored by Matías Arezo (63') and Leonardo Fernández (79'). Juan Ramos (31') was the scorer for Deportivo Maldonado.
