View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Recent form clearly favors goals from both teams: BTTS occurred in 80% of Nacional’s last five matches and in 60% of Guaraní’s games. During this period, Nacional averaged 1.6 goals scored and 1.2 conceded, while Guaraní scored 1.2 and conceded 1.0 goal per match. Their attacking potential is supported by the latest xG figures: 1.48 for the hosts and 1.55 for the visitors, with their defenses allowing 1.30 and 1.20 xG, respectively. Seasonal BTTS rates are more cautious, at 46% and 50%, but the recent goal data and the similar profiles of both teams give a slight edge to the scenario in which each side scores at least once.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Nacional averages 1.38 goals scored and 0.92 conceded at home, while Guaraní scores 1.08 and allows opponents 1.17 goals away from home. The xG figures are moderate, with the hosts averaging 1.34 xG and the visitors 1.19 xG, pointing to a projection of around 2.40 goals. Even with a slightly more open recent run, in which both teams conceded 6 goals across five matches, the four-goal line remains high compared with their seasonal tendencies.

HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Nacional Asunción has a clear home advantage profile: they win 54% of their matches, score an average of 1.38 goals and concede just 0.92, while Guaraní win only 17% of their games. The advantage is already evident before half-time, as Nacional led at the break in 38% of their matches, rising to 60% across their last five; Guaraní led at half-time in just 17% of their matches this season. In their last five games, the hosts scored an average of 1.0 first-half goals, compared with 0.4 for the visitors, while Guaraní conceded 0.6 goals in the opening half during this period. After the break, Nacional still possess the stronger attacking output, averaging 0.92 goals compared with Guaraní’s 0.58. Therefore, the most likely HT/FT scenario is for the hosts to lead at the break and maintain their winning advantage through to full-time (1/1).
