EL Nacional vs Barcelona SC tips and predictions

Rescue mission for EL Nacional

These teams come from different leagues but some of these stats provide reason to believe in the hosts. While it isn't particularly odd to see the big price for the home team they cannot be written off.

To start this preview with a disclaimer; this strategy is pushing the envelope but the away side price is too short.

The hosts go into the match having logged 13 home wins from their last 17.

EL Nacional will need to quickly find their best stuff to have any chance. They scored one or more times in all of their recent 20 home matches and that effort has been consolidated at the back where they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 5 home games.

Barcelona SC have not enjoyed some of their recent journeys. They actually conceded two or more times in 2 of their last 3 away matches. Their supposed problems don't stop there though. In front of goal the visitors have sometimes been quite poor. They've scored one or less goals in 10 of their last 13 matches.

Winning might be unrealistic but they can grab something here. If Barcelona SC stamp their authority on the match they are also likely to keep a clean sheet. It isn't a strong view and it won't be for everyone, but the No BTTS bet is the only option in that market that has any signs of value. Looking into the goal line, it's under 1.5 goals that stands out here considering the price that's available. Everything in this preview will rest on how the hosts deal with a standard of football they aren't used to.
