Copa Colombia's first test is here — Atlético Nacional roll into this one as clear favorites, but Tigres FC aren't showing up to vacation. 🏆

Nacional's form is a mixed bag: two wins in their last five outings, but also a 3-0 drubbing away to Junior Barranquilla that'll still sting. Tigres come in as the underdog but play direct, compact football that could frustrate a Nacional side that needs to sharpen up quick.

Key storylines:

• C. Arango and J. Rosa lead Nacional's attack and will hunt early chances; Nacional's midfield of J. Campuzano and E. Bello needs to control tempo
• Tigres' D. Viáfara and E. Gomez form a tough defensive line; expect them to sit deep and hit on the break
• H. Castillo in goal for Nacional will face a organized but limited Tigres strike force spearheaded by J. Hincapie

Expected lineups:

• Atlético Nacional: H. Castillo, W. Tesillo, A. Román, C. Haydar, M. Casco, J. Campuzano, E. Bello, A. Morelos, C. Arango, J. Rosa
• Tigres FC: D. Mateus, C. Ibarra, D. Viáfara, E. Gomez, F. Mosquera, A. Cuadros, B. Caviedes, D. Ibarra, J. Hincapie

Prediction:

Nacional 2–0 Tigres. Home advantage, tournament momentum, and a sharper final third should settle this one cleanly. 📍
