Nacional Asuncion vs Sportivo Luqueno tips and predictions

Not straightforward to separate teams in Primera Division battle; stalemate possible

There's not much between Nacional Asuncion and Sportivo Luqueno in the Primera Division. The hosts are in sixth place with 14 points, compared to their opponents who are in third place on 17 points.

Any result is possible here. The draw is food for thought as far as this preview is concerned. With goals being hard to come by in the build up to this one, this could end up with clean-sheets at both ends and it's certainly not one to go mad about. That said, the draw is the play from the 1X2.

Both sides should be confident of keeping it tidy at the back. Nacional Asuncion have averaged 0.7 goals in their last 3 home starts which doesn't sound good. Sportivo Luqueno have averaged 0.8 goals in their last 16 away campaigns.

In previous matches between these sides 4 of the last 12 have ended in parity.

The match could unfold into a game of tiny margins with the two sides ultimately being pretty even. It isn't the best value from today's fixtures but the No BTTS bet could be sensible. As far as the total goals line goes, it's Under 3.5 standing out in this one considering the price that's available there.

Nacional Asuncion have drawn 8 of their last 17 matches, including their most recent match when they drew 1-1 with Guarani last week. Sportivo Luqueno have drawn 2 of their last 3 matches. They drew with 12 de Octubre last week. It's not a very exciting prediction and it feels like a match to be wary of. A deadlock awaits after what will probably be a low-scoring affair.
