Medellin
- Medellin have won two of their six home Primera A 2026 matches, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game.
- This Clásico Paisa will be extra important in 2026 with Independiente Medellin looking to bounce back from Alejandro Restrepo’s recent disciplinary absence and Atletico Nacional playing with a hunger to win another league title.
- Nacional come into this one off the back of a 2-1 home win over CD Jaguares and 1-2 away victory at Deportivo Pasto, while Medellin have recently beaten America de Cali 2-1 at home and drawn 1-1 away at Once Caldas, but they were beaten 2-1 away to Santa Fe a fortnight ago.
Atletico Nacional
- Nacional have won four of their seven away Primera A 2026 fixtures, conceding an average of 1.14 goals per game.
- Nacional are currently top of the Primera A 2026 standings on 34 points from 15 matches while Medellin are 14th with 17 points after 14 games.
- Diego Arias has built a possession-based, high-tempo, ball-retentive football team at Nacional that presses high and plays through the thirds in numbers to dominate territory and control matches.
Head-to-Head
- Atletico Nacional have one win and one draw from the last two head-to-head meetings in all competitions (W1-D1).
- They beat Medellin 0-1 away in the Copa Colombia 2025.
Key Players
- Alfredo Morelos is the focal point of Nacional’s attack and has nine Primera A 2026 goals in 13 appearances and will always be a threat to score.
- Francisco Chaverra is Medellin’s most prolific striker with three Primera A 2026 goals in 13 games.
Betting Insights

- Both teams to Score - Yes is our second selection for this game at 1.65 as we expect both to get on the scoresheet in an open affair.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.83 is the third selection.
Prediction
Nacional have the superior form in the league, the better recent away record and more attacking firepower in this fixture, so they are favoured to take all three points on Sunday.
