Atletico Nacional
- Atletico Nacional de Medellin have gone 4 from 4 at home with no defeats, where they have scored 2.00 goals per match and have conceded 0.50 on average.
- Nacional, who have won each of their four home games in all competitions, have been absolutely flying in all respects under Lucas Gonzalez, who has the Rey de Copas playing controlled possession soccer with a press that allows them to transition quickly and enter the box vertically.
- Nacional have won three on the bounce, and their past two results are a 2-1 victory over Deportivo Cali at home and a 5-1 blowout of Alianza Valledupar away.
Rionegro Aguilas Doradas
- Atletico Nacional have won eight of their last ten matches in all competitions while Rionegro Aguilas Doradas have remained unbeaten in ten (4 wins and 6 draws).
- Aguilas are unbeaten in five on the road in all competitions, winning three and drawing two, including consecutive draws in all venues (1-1 against Millonarios, 2-2 versus Boyaca Chico and 2-2 away at Inter Bogota).
- Ricardo Marquez has been in scorch mode for Flavio Robatto's men, hitting three of their seven goals in the last five fixtures, and they have given every opponent a hard time in the recent matches.
Head-to-Head
And while Nacional have a real edge in the matchup, having won the last two H2H games and beaten Aguilas 2-1 away six months ago in Primera A 2026, we must take into account Rionegro's unbeaten form and their recent draw habit.
Key Players
- Edwin Cardona is the spark of this outfit, having scored three goals in five Primera A 2026 fixtures and Marlos Moreno is another driving force in the attacking third, hitting three of Nacional's nine goals in their last five matches.
- Ricardo Marquez has been in scorch mode for Flavio Robatto's men, hitting three of their seven goals in the last five fixtures, and they have given every opponent a hard time in the recent matches.
Betting Insights
- Atletico Nacional de Medellin are the clear 1.3 favorites against Rionegro Aguilas Doradas on Sunday and it is easy to see why.
- They should win this matchup with some ease, but the odds of 3/2 for Rionegro and 4.5 for the draw seems generous as well.
- We're taking the draw no bet for insurance as Aguilas are a bit of a frustrating side that will make Nacional work for every opportunity they get.
- The alternate angle on this clash, which is a game of styles, is both teams to score at 2.05, but the under 2.5 goals option at 1.95 could also suit a tight, tactical matchup.
Prediction
We're going to recommend the home team to win as the best way to get a return from this game, but we understand that this will not be a stroll for Nacional and the visitors will get some joy on the counter-attack.
