Going in the scheduled and important fixture of Colombia Categoria A, Pasto will be looing forward to playing with a defensive approach. Though Nacional has dominated Pasto in the last three outings, the current scoring average in away fixtures isn’t quite strong. Hence, Pasto can surely secure a draw by playing with intent and proper strategies. My final verdict is either a draw or Nacional to win (0-1).
