Atletico Nacional vs Internacional Prediction

El Verde have lost three of their last seven games in all competitions, though all defeats were registered in their travels. They have failed to score in four games during that period and will look to improve upon that record. They are unbeaten at home across all competitions since September and will look to build on that form.

Clube do Povo suffered their first loss in five games last week and will look to bounce back here. Notably, they have won just one of their last 10 away games against Colombian teams, playing out seven draws.

Both teams will play for the third time in nine days, which is likely to impact their performance here. With that in mind and considering the visitors' recent away form, a draw will likely ensue.
