Nacional and Internacional to Draw
The two teams enter this game separated by just one point in the race for the second stage. Internacional is ahead currently, but in this group three teams will battle until the last round for a place in the next stage – these two and Independiente Medellin, who are tied with Nacional.
So, this is a very important match and the winner will be in much better position going forward, but that's exactly the reason why we don't see a winner in this game and why our first Nacional vs Internacional prediction is for the match to end in a draw.
Nacional and Internacional to Draw at Half Time
Since we can see this match ending in a draw, we wouldn't be too surprised if the teams are also tied at half time, which is why our second Nacional vs Internacional prediction is a half time draw.
After all, two of the three most recent h2h meetings between Nacional and Internacional have also been tied at half times, so we can see that being the case once again on Wednesday.

Nacional – Internacional Preview: Team News, Form, and Probable Lineups
You can read all the latest information regarding both teams here, including the most likely Nacional vs Internacional lineups:
Nacional
With four wins in the last six games in their domestic championship, Nacional has been in good form lately and they have done well overall this season too since they are currently second in the standings in the league, only behind Penarol. On top of that, Nacional have seven points from four games in Copa Libertadores and they will fight for the next stage along with Independiente Medellin and Internacional.
Meanwhile, Renzo Sanchez is on the sidelines right now with a ligament injury, while Pereiro and Camilo Candido are suspended at this moment.
Nacional Predicted Lineups:
Rochet – Lozano, Noguera, Polenta, Almeida – Y. Rodriguez, D. Rodriguez – Trezza, Zabala, Fagundez – Ramirez
Internacional
After a rough start in Serie A and just eleven points from nine games, Internacional is sitting in the thirteenth place in the standings in their domestic championship. On the bright side, they did get four points from the last two rounds, after ending a four-game losing streak. Another positive for the team is Copa Libertadores, where they have a good chance to get to the next stage of the competition since they are currently at the top of their group.
When it comes to team news, Campanharo, Pedro Henrique, Mauricio, Rodrigo Moledo, Gabriel Mercado, and Gabriel are all on Internacional's injury list right now, while Nicolas Hernandez is suspended.

Player to Watch: Juan Ignacio Ramirez
There are many players who could have a great game in this duel, on both sides, but our player to watch is Juan Ignacio Ramirez, the top scorer for Nacional this season.
In the Uruguayan league, Ramirez has eleven goals and he is leading his team in this department. However, Ramirez failed to score in the four games played by Nacional in Copa Libertadores so far, so he might be due and that's why we feel he is the player to watch.
