Home: Nacional
They will be particularly pleased with their most recent outings as Nacional drew 1-1 at home to Club Deportivo Los Millonarios and then beat CD Junior de Barranquilla 3-1 at home in their last two games.
Away: Deportes Tolima
- They're coming off back-to-back ties, 1-1 at home to America de Cali and 2-2 away at Fortaleza FC.
- However, Tolima's players will need to step up and provide more bite than they have shown so far in this campaign, with only five goals scored in five away games across all competitions.
Head-to-Head
- Atletico Nacional de Medellin have won three of the last five head-to-head meetings between the two sides (Deportes Tolima have won the other two).
- Verdolaga have won four and drawn one of their five home games so far and have been solid across all venues, posting a 3-1-1 record after five outings.
Key Players
- Nacional's sharpest finisher is Edwin Cardona, who has notched three Primera A 2026 goals in five matches, while Adrian Parra leads Tolima's league scoring with one in four.
- Los Pijaos' best sharp shooter is Sergio Aguayo, who has scored two of those five goals, and he is their best chance of breaching Nacional's defense.
