Atletico Nacional will welcome Internacional to Estadio Atanasio Girardot in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores on Thursday. The visitors have enjoyed an unbeaten record in the competition thus far, while Atletico have registered one win in their three games.
The hosts lost 1-0 away to Bahia in their previous Libertadores outing last month. They have seen an uptick in form and are unbeaten in their last two games. They met Independiente Medellín in the Categoría Primera A last week and were held to a 1-1 draw.
Colorado met Uruguayan Nacional in their previous Libertadores match last month and played out a 3-3 draw. They had conceded thrice in the first half and scored twice after the break to play their second draw of the campaign. Their unbeaten streak was ended after four games last week, as they suffered a 4-2 away loss to Internacional in Corinthians in the Brazilian Serie A.
El Verde have lost three of their last seven games in all competitions, though all defeats were registered in their travels. They have failed to score in four games during that period and will look to improve upon that record. They are unbeaten at home across all competitions since September and will look to build on that form.
Clube do Povo suffered their first loss in five games last week and will look to bounce back here. Notably, they have won just one of their last 10 away games against Colombian teams, playing out seven draws.
Both teams will play for the third time in nine days, which is likely to impact their performance here. With that in mind and considering the visitors' recent away form, a draw will likely ensue.
