Nacional vs Racing Montevideo tips and predictions

Nacional can stifle Racing Montevideo but no value in prices

With 7 points between them, it's third placed Nacional versus fifth placed Racing Montevideo in this Primera Division clash.

This is a hesitant view as there's not much to go on. It's difficult to see anything but a home win but their short price isn't particularly tempting. Nevertheless, Racing Montevideo are likely to fall short.

The hosts come into the match with 8 home wins from their last 9.

Nacional have scored two or more goals in all of their recent 4 matches and the rest of the squad has also been on point. In their current run they've conceded no more than once in 14 of their last 15 home games.

Nacional have won 15 of the last 18 fixtures between these sides. With regard to previous meetings the head-to-head stats are reasons for confidence in them. In their last match Nacional had a 2-1 win against CA Cerro.

The sportsbooks think that only one of these sides will present a threat on goal due to the favouritism for Nacional. But with the odds-against BTTS Yes price available that's probably the best bet out of the two options in that market.
