São Paulo and Atlético Nacional will lock horns in an exciting second leg of the CONMEBOL Libertadores Round of 16. São Paulo stormed into the knockout stage of this competition after topping Group D with 14 points, five more than the second-placed Libertad. The Brazilians then held Nacional to a goalless draw in their first matchup to set up an exciting second leg clash on Tuesday night. They certainly have the upper hand.
Atlético Nacional, meanwhile, will rue their inability to maximize their home advantage in the first leg to steal the march. The Colombians had the most possession (55%), although their attack left nothing to smile about. Atlético Nacional only recorded one shot on target throughout the match from their 20 attempts. They also committed the most fouls (18). Javier Gandolfi will ask for a more adventurous attacking football with defensive discipline in São Paulo.

Our SAO Paulo vs Atlético Nacional Prediction
Both sides will be looking to start brightly in this matchup, meaning you can expect a tense first half. São Paulo will enter this late-night fixture as the -130 betting favorite after battling well in the first leg. They have been impressive in front of their home fans lately, winning their last four matches while keeping two clean sheets. São Paulo will also be fired up to improve their H2H record, having lost to the visitors four times in the last five clashes. However, Atlético Nacional is also on fire, losing once during the previous 10 games. Still, we don't see them winning in Brazil.
