But the history of the competition does not totally support that theory. However, Bolso are going through a purple patch, winning nine of their last 11 games. Atletico Goianiense will probably have to give their all to survive at Gran Parque Central.Nacional are expected to come out on top but goal margins will be as crucial as victory.Prediction: Nacional 2-0 Atletico Goianiense
