Peñarol form and stats

Last season, Peñarol's Copa Libertadores journey ended in the group stage.

The story so far in the Primera Division for Peñarol at their home stadium (Estadio Campeón del Siglo) is 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat. On the other hand, in the Copa Libertadores, Peñarol has performed like this (both home and away): 1 win, 0 draws and 3 losses.

Peñarol faced defeat in their previous match, away at Wilstermann (1-3). In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Plaza Colonia.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Peñarol have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won four times, drawn zero and lost one.

A decent goal production from Peñarol in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 8 league matches. Peñarol's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Colo-Colo form and stats

They also participated in Copa Libertadores last season. This ended in the quarter-finals, when Palmeiras drew the shortest straw.

There's been little loot from Colo-Colo's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Primera Division. Colo-Colo only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Copa Libertadores stats, they have 2 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses both home and away. Visiting Colo-Colo has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Colo-Colo are looking to quickly end their 257 minutes long goal drought in the Primera Division.

Colo-Colo lost away at Atletico PR (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Peñarol in the Copa Libertadores.

We have checked recent matches where Colo-Colo have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were one victory, one draw and two defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Colo-Colo are hosting Huachipato in the Primera Division only four days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Colo-Colo as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. Colo-Colo have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
