- Competition: Paraguay - Primera Division Aperatura
- Date: Tuesday, 17th, March 2025
- Kickoff: 23:30 UK / 00.30 CET
- Venue: Estadio Arsenio Erico (Asuncion)
On Tuesday at midnight, Nacional Asuncion and Sportivo Trinidense will square off at Estadio Arsenio Erico, each hoping to recover their form after slower starts.
Nacional Asuncion's elation from their first win of the season, a slim 1-0 triumph over Atletico Tembetary in early March, quickly turned to disappointment as they stumbled in their next league fixture, falling 1-2 to Sportivo Luqueno in a bottom-of-the-table battle, leaving them languishing at the bottom with a pitiful four-point tally.
Meanwhile, Sportivo Trinidense have earned a reputation as draw specialists of late, posting a third draw on the trot after conceding a dramatic 1-1 equalizer in the dying moments at home against table-toppers Libertad, which kept them in eight place with a modest 10-point collection.
Nacional Asuncion vs Sportivo Trinidense Betting Tips : BTTS
While Nacional Asuncion hold the tag of favorites due to home advantage, their inconsistent form makes them a risky bet, yet with both teams stepping onto the pitch with an equal shot at success, the prospect of goals looks like the most reliable outcome. Nacional Asunción’s defensive frailties have been put under the microscope as the main reason for their disastrous early-season form, with their rearguard struggling to keep opponents at bay, recording only one clean sheet in their latest outings across all tournaments. Sharing the same defensive woes as their midweek counterparts, Sportivo Trinidense have found it difficult to shut out opponents, especially away from home, where they have posted a solitary clean sheet in their last 14 road fixtures. Despite their defensive struggles, El Triqui have been electrifying in attack, turning their away fixtures into high-scoring spectacles, as they have both conceded and netted at least twice in three of their last five trips. Neither of the teams has been inspiring confidence recently, but with both sides desperate to break their poor runs of results, we can expect an explosive encounter where the nets will be bulging at both ends.

The attacking line is likely to remain unchanged as it's been performing well, but the defense is ready for some adjustments after showing significant vulnerability at the back.
