Atl. Nacional vs Tolima Prediction: I expect both teams to end their backs in the net

The 2nd leg Final matchup in the Colombia Primera A-Clausura Play-Offs will host the match between Atl. Nacional and Tolima at Estadio Atanasio Girardot Stadium. Atl. Nacional will aim to prevent a defeat on their home soil to extend their unbeaten streak from five to six and aim to secure a win, while Tolima will aim to avoid a defeat on the road to extend their unbeaten streak of two to three. Since both teams tied in their 1st leg matchup, which of these teams will win to claim the trophy? In the following paragraphs, let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion.

Atl. Nacional extended their unbeaten streak to five in their 1st leg matchup against Atl. Nacional in a 1-1 draw in the match closed. Before the match, they tied against America De Cali while they were victorious against America De Cali, Santa Fe, and Pasto. During these games, they have scored eight goals while conceding three. Atl. Nacional will aim to secure a win on their home soil to build on their last winning streak of five games on their ground.

Tolima extended their unbeaten streak to two during their last four games in their 1st leg against Tolima in a 1-1 draw in the closed match. Before the match, they were victorious against Once Caldes, but they suffered defeats against Junior and America De Cali. During these games, six goals while conceding eight. Tolima will aim to prevent a defeat on the road following their previous tied matchup since they have failed to win any of their last four games on the road.

Since 2022, Atl. Nacional and Tolima met in nine games, and both teams scored against one another in seven games, with more than two goals were recorded in six. Atl. Nacional won two, while Tolima won four, and both teams tied in three games.

Given that both teams have scored in seven games in their last nine games, I expect both teams to extend their previous scoring abilities in this match and find the net, while I expect more than two goals to be recorded. Even though both teams tied in their last matchup, I think the home team will showcase a class in this match and secure a win since the visiting team are battling with a winless streak of four lately.
