Nacional are likely to change their centre-back pairing after their last clean sheet in the Libertadores. If so, 19-year-old Paolo Calione could be given a chance to start in place of either Sebastian Coates or Julian Millan.
On Atletico Nacional's side, the lineup is likely to remain unchanged from the win over Bahia. Edwin Cardona, Marino Hinestroza, Billy Arce and Kevin Viveros continue to be the main attacking quartet.
However, two notable names on the bench, Alfredo Morelos and Dairon Asprilla, are fiercely competing for a starting spot, especially Morelos with his stable domestic form.

Latest football commentary Nacional vs Atletico Nacional
Uruguay's Nacional have no chance of reaching the knockout round of Copa Libertadores after only 4 points after 5 matches (1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses). With 4 points behind second-placed Atletico Nacional, they only have to play for honor in the final match at home at Estadio Gran Parque Central, Montevideo.
Despite disappointing in the continental arena, Nacional showed impressive form in the domestic league with two consecutive wins against Defensor Sporting and Progreso, scoring 3 goals and conceding only 1.
They are also winning 5/6 of their most recent matches in all competitions, however in the Libertadores, their home record is extremely bad: losing both matches (against Internacional and Bahia) without scoring a single goal.
On the other hand, Atletico Nacional, after a 1-0 victory over Bahia on May 14, unexpectedly suffered two consecutive defeats in the Colombian National Championship, against Aguilas Doradas and Junior FC.
Despite losing 2-3 to Junior FC last weekend, they still had bright spots thanks to goals from Billy Arce and Kevin Viveros – both of whom are key players in attack. Alfredo Morelos also continued to make his mark with his 6th assist in the league, in addition to 6 goals in 17 appearances this season.
Back in Libertadores, Atletico Nacional are leading Group F. If they win this match, they will definitely win the group – a big motivation for the Colombian team to play with determination even though they are playing away.
