Nacional Montevideo hosts Argentinos Juniors in round 6 of the Copa Libertadores group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, May 27th at Gran Parque Central (Montevideo)
Nacional is in the last place in Group F. The team won one victory, tied two times, and suffered two losses. The Uruguayans are playing roughly. In three out of five Copa Libertadores games, at least one Nacional player picked up a red card. In the match against Atlético Nacional, as many as two players were sent off. Aggression does not help Nacional in the attack. The Tricolors scored less than two goals in four out of five Cup games and could not even upset the opponents’ goalkeepers in two matches. The title of the team with the worst attack in the tournament was close, but Nacional was saved by an over-productive match against Atlético Nacional (4-4). Because of that game, the Uruguayans have six goals, and only Argentinos Juniors (7) have scored more goals in Group F. The defense of the Uruguayans is also far from ideal. The team conceded nine goals, and it is the worst result in the group.

Argentinos Juniors takes the first place in its group with 12 points scored. The team chalked up four victories and one defeat. With this result, the Red Bugs are among the top three teams in the entire Cup. Brazilian Palmeiras scored the same number of points, and Atletico Mineiro gained four more. The club from Buenos Aires has the best defense in the Cup. The team conceded only one goal in the only lost match. Its goalkeeper was upset by the Chilean Universidad Catolica (0-1). It was also the only match in which the Red Bugs did not score. In the rest of the games, the team sent seven goals to the opponents' nets. Moreover, Argentinos Juniors scored two goals in three out of five games.
Nacional is fighting with Atlético for third place in the group, but the Uruguayans have few chances. After all, Argentinos Juniors are unlikely to just give up the victory. Yes, the Red Bugs are approaching the match without proper motivation, because they have already guaranteed themselves a ticket to the next stage of the Cup from the first place. However, even taking into account this factor, they are unlikely to play below the declared standard. The Juniors are on the list of the best teams of the tournament and will try not to lose this status. Both Nacional and Argentinos Juniors rarely score many goals. Nacional has an average of 1.2 goals, with the result being heavily influenced by one match against Atlético (4-4). Apart from this game, the Uruguayans scored an average of 0.5 goals per match. The Juniors scored 1.4 goals per game on average.
Prediction for the match: Argentinos Jrs to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 2.5 goals scored
