Stadium: José Pinheiro Borda (Beira-Rio)

Referee: Rubén Selman (Chile)

Last Match: Club Nacional 3 - 1 Internacional

Internacional (Brasil)

The current Champion of the Cup remains with possibilities as they won 1-2 to Emelec to have a slight chance to get to next round. But for this the team needs to win in this match by four goals the least. In order to tie with Nacional in points and won in the goal average comparation. This is needed if Velez win their match.

But if Velez draw and Internacional won by any scoreline, then Internacional and Nacional would be on next stage and Velez Sarsfield would be eliminated. But Internacional can't expect for Emelec to obtain something in Argentina and needs to make goals here to obtain a comfortable victory.

In home the team won 3-0 to Emelec and then was unable to score against the tight defense of Velez Sarsfield, now the team face a like defense with the objetive to score four times. It is expecte the team will go out with a offensive lineup almost four attacking players, but the coach stated that this doesn't mean they will give up defensive to go out attacking like crazy.

Brazilian teams in home have show strong, still yersteday both teams miss to beat the handicap line as they indeed won but both by just one goal. Is hard that a away team take points from there, just Chivas Guadalajara (Mexico) has been able to take a categoric victory.

Club Nacional Montevideo (Uruguay)

The team last two victories (El Nacional and Velez) have send the team to the first position of the group, and with good options to get to next round it all goes trough a away match against Internacional (current Champion) in Brazil.

In away the team haven't been able to win, hold Velez to a 1-1 draw and lost against Emelec by 1-0. So if something has been to obtain is good defending as have allowed just one goal per match. Even in overall the team have allowed one goal per match in four matches, with one clean sheet against Velez this in the last match.

The team needs to avoid defeat, something that on away they have allowed once, and they have to put out their best dispaly to be able to obtain something, because defeat is the only result that takes them out of the next stage qualification. As a draw and a victory get them trough.

Match:

Internacional will focus on getting the most scoring chances to be able to score most of them and focus also on defense as Nacional will not go to laid back and this could help them get a good result.

Prediction:

Tight match that is tricky as Nacional with any result can get trought, but I expect a good performance of the team, but as Internacional as Brazilian teams in home grows and I expect at least a victory by a goal of Internacional.
