Atletico Nacional vs Olimpia Prediction: Atletico Nacional Seems Unstoppable Now

In the upcoming fixture of Copa Libertadores, Matchday 3, Atletico Nacional will be hosting Club Olimpia from Paraguay at the Estadio Atanasio Girardot in Colombia. With Atletico Nacional leading the points table in Libertadores, the upcoming matchup could result in a one-sided setback for the visitors. However, Olimpia has also managed to stay unbeaten in Group H, making the upcoming matchup an interesting one to witness. Atletico Nacional and Olimpia last met in March 2022 in the Copa Libertadores Qualification round, and Olimpia won (3-2) on an aggregate basis. For the upcoming matchup, Atletico Nacional will be looking to settle the previous scores and register a win at home. 

It was said that Nacional was struggling to perform in exclusive matchups against Medellin, and then in the last match, we saw something unexpected. Jefferson Duque and Tomas Angel gave their side a comprehensive lead at the close of the first half. Next, Jefferson Duque scored another goal by kicking the ball in the left corner of the post. With extraordinary gameplay in the last outing, Nacional simply outclassed Medellin. With 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 defeat in the last five matches played across all competitions, Atletico Nacional is certainly proving its mantle. When playing at home, Nacional has won its last two matches with a margin of two goals. Hence, the upcoming matchup could also result in Atletico Nacional’s favor. Talking about the scoring, Atletico Nacional has scored 8 goals and allowed 3 goals in the last five. For the upcoming fixture as well, Dorlan Pabon will be in the spotlight for scoring.

Going in the matchup against Atletico Nacional, Olimpia is coming off a draw against Sportivo Trinidense (1-1), in which Richard Ortiz scored the equalizer in the 64th minute. In the last five matches played, Olimpia has scored just three goals, averaging 0.60 goals per game. Hence, it’s quite evident that Olimpia is struggling to keep up with the scoring average. However, in the last Libertadores outing, Olimpia managed a reasonable possession against Patronato and registered a win (1-0). With the likes of Cardozo, Silva, Gomez, and Salazar in the lineup, Cub Olimpia will continue fancying its chances of scoring first and then playing with a defensive intent.
