Danubio vs Nacional: Prediction, Head-to-Head, Odds & Stats (Sun, 12 Oct '25)

Welcome to the grand spectacle happening at the Jardines Del Hipódromo, Uruguay, where Danubio and Nacional will clash in a legendary showdown on Sun, 12 Oct '25 local time. It's set to be an intriguing bout in the Liga AUF Uruguaya, featuring plenty of thrills, spills, and maybe even a stray ball or two aimed at unsuspecting fans.

If past encounters are anything to go by, Danubio is rather like that team that shows up to a party but forgets to bring their dance shoes. From their last three encounters with Nacional, Danubio has taken home a grand total of zero wins! Meanwhile, Nacional has swanned off with two glitzy victories, leaving just one match as a gentlemanly draw. In their last tango on Sun, 29 Jun '25, Nacional sashayed to a 3-2 victory.

Coming into this latest derby, Danubio unfortunately has a misstep to their name, having slipped to Peñarol with a 0-2 thud. On the flip side, Nacional pirouetted from their bout with Cerro Largo with a 2-1 triumph. In the league standings, Danubio's performance might need a little polishing sitting at position 9, unlike Nacional who are busy rubbing shoulders with the elites in position 2.

Looking at the stars of the show, Danubio's secret weapon this season is S. Fernández, who has managed to sneak 9 goals into the opponent's net. Nacional will be relying on L. Boggio’s magic boots, having assisted a whopping 7 times to lead the charge. Speaking of magic, for Danubio, player ratings see Lucas Sanseviero dazzling with a score of 7.28, followed by Emiliano Velázquez at 7.27, and not least, Mauro Goicoechea at 7.15. For Nacional, the spotlight shines brightly on Nico López with a stellar 7.64 rating, trailed by Maximiliano Gómez (7.45) and Christian Oliva (7.17).

When it comes to hogging the spotlight, or the ball in this case, Danubio's average possession percentage reads a humble 46.9%, whereas Nacional loves to show who’s boss at 53.8%. If you're a fan of flag-waving and corner counting, Danubio lands an average of 4.59 corners per game. Nacional, never shy for a cameo, manages slightly more with an average of 5.76.

Both teams also have their share of troubles with sticking to the rulebook, with Danubio stacking up 73 yellow cards, 3 reds, and gifting 4 penalties to the opposition. Nacional, perhaps channeling their inner bad boys, have amassed 85 yellows and the same count of 3 red cards, also conceding 4 penalties. Now, if we are to speculate on these glorious statistics and delightful performances, I have a hunch that Nacional might just waltz away with the grand prize in this match-up. After all, analyzing the form and streaks speaks volumes! But hey, predictions are a funny old game, so let’s watch and see!
