Olimpia and Atletico Nacional to Draw
Both teams enter this match without pressure since they have already secured their places in the next stage. That being said, Atletico Nacional is currently two points ahead in the standings and Olimpia can overtake them in the race for the first place in the group with a win here.
However, we don't see Olimpia winning the match. After all, the guests have been in better form overall recently, if we also consider their domestic championships. Also, the last two meetings between these two teams both ended in draws, so our first Olimpia vs Atletico Nacional prediction is for this game to end in a draw too.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
We saw both teams score in the last three h2h meetings between these teams, which is one of the reasons why our second Olimpia vs Atletico Nacional prediction is for both teams to score.
Furthermore, both teams have scored in three of the four matches that Atletico Nacional played in the group so far, while the same is true for two of the four Olimpia games in Copa Libertadores so far.

Olimpia – Atletico Nacional Preview: News, Recent Form, and Probable Lineups
Find all the key facts and information on both teams ahead of their duel here, including our predicted Olimpia vs Atletico Nacional lineups:
Olimpia
With just one win in the last six games in Paraguayan championship, Olimpia clearly struggled recently at home and they are currently in the seventh place in the standings, more than twenty points behind Libertad at the top. On the bright side, Olimpia already qualified for the next stage of Copa Libertadores and they could even finish first in the standings and secure an easier opponent in Top 16 phase.
When it comes to team news, Jhon Solis will miss this match through suspension, but the team is otherwise in good shape.
Olimpia Predicted Lineups:
Olveira – Zabala, Gamarra, Zarate, Romana – Fernandez, Cardozo, Torres, Gomez, Silva – Paiva
Atletico Nacional
Four wins in the last six games in their domestic championship have put Atletico Nacional in the third place in Colombian Apertura, just four points behind league leaders Aguilas. The team is also first in their Copa Libertadores group right now with ten points from four matches and they are already in the next stage, but they will want to avoid a loss against Olimpia to pretty much secure the top spot in the group.
Meanwhile, Atletico Nacional did not report any new injury concerns, so we can expect their best team in this game.
Atletico Nacional Predicted Lineups:
Mier – Banguero, Zapata, Aguirre, Candelo – Gomez, Palacio, Deossa – Perea, Pabon, Palacios
Starting Lineups
