Atletico Goianiense vs Nacional prediction, preview, team news and more | Copa Sudamericana 2022

Atletico Goianiense play host to Nacional in the second leg of their Copa Sudamericana quarter-final clash on Wednesday.

The Brazilian Serie A side will be looking to pick up where they dropped off in the first leg where they claimed a hard-fought 1-0 victory.

Atletico Goianiense found their feet in Serie A last Saturday when they claimed a 2-1 victory over Red Bull Bragantino.

Prior to that, they were on a dire run of six consecutive defeats in the league, where they are currently second-bottom in the table.

Atletico Goianiense have now turned their sights to the Copa Sudamericana, where they saw off Olimpia on penalties in the last-16 before claiming a 1-0 win over Nacional in the first leg of their quarter-final clash.

Elsewhere, Nacional picked up their first win of the 2022-23 Uruguayan Primera Division campaign last time out when they edged out Rentistas 3-0 on home turf.

Prior to that, they were condemned to a 2-1 loss by Deportivo Maldonado in the opening game of their domestic campaign on July 30.

While Nacional will look to mount a comeback, they have managed just one way in their last three away games across all competitions.
