How Nacional (P) and Argentinos Juniors arrive at the Copa Sudamericano duel
The present of the Guarani Tricolore is not the best: since the beginning of 2024 they have collected 16 appearances, with a negative balance of nine defeats, two draws and five victories; which led to the departure of Juan Pablo Pumpido and the hiring of Víctor Bernay as manager. As if that wasn’t enough, they participated in the preliminary phase of the Copa Libertadores and beat both Aucas and Atlético Nacional, but remained on the fringes of qualification as they lost on penalties to Palestino in the last round. After the elimination, they played two more league matches, all defeats: 0-1 against Tacuary and another 0-1 away to Cerro Porteño.
The team led by Pablo Guede, for its part, is the only leader in Zone A of the League Cup with 24 points in 12 games played (seven wins, three draws and two defeats). The last match they played was against Instituto in Córdoba and they won 2-1 in heartbreaking fashion with goals from Maximiliano Romero (82′) and José Herrera (90+5′).
Argentinos Juniors’ next rival will be Racing de Montevideo, against whom they will play on Tuesday 9 April. For their part, Paraguay will face the Brazilian Timão.
