The Uruguayan’s stadium, Gran Parque Central, will be empty after a CONMEBOL ban on supporters of Nacional following incidents that occurred between fans in a recent match against Newell’s Old Boys.
After a 37-year absence, the Chilean side Palestino is finally back fighting for a place in the Copa Libertadores. With their victory 1-0 in the first leg, the Chileans would progress with a draw.
At this stage last season, Nacional started with a 1-0 away defeat against Oriente Petrolero, but in the second leg in Montevideo they won 2-0, thus ensuring their ticket to the group stage. Fans will be hopeful of a repeat tonight.
The winners will join a group that contains Boca Juniors (ARG), Zamora (VEN), and Montevideo Wanderers (URU).
At home against Chilean teams, Nacional have an impressive record, with 10 wins, 2 draws and only 3 defeats in 15 games. Their defeats came against Cobreloa (2-1, 1981), Union Espanola (1-0, 1994), and Colo Colo (3-1, 1997).
