Nacional host Internacional at the Gran Parque Central on Wednesday (June 7) in the group stage of the CONMEBOL Libertadores.
After a positive start to their continental campaign, Nacional have hit a rough patch but remain hopeful of reaching the knockouts. They lost 2-1 to Independiente Medellin in their last continental game. Diego Rodriguez scored the opener before their opponents turned the game around in the second half.
Nacional are third in the standings with seven points. They will leapfrog their midweek opponents with a win.
Internacional, meanwhile, have endured a difficult run of results in the Brasileiro Serie A this season but have performed well in the continental. They beat Metropolitanos 2-1 in their last group game. Alan Patrick and Luiz Adriano got on the scoresheet before their opponents scored a second-half consolation.
The visitors sit atop their group with eight points and will advance with maximum points.
