National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Colón or Peñarol that keep their silverware dream alive.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Primera Division game only four days ago. That game, against Nacional, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Peñarol.
Colón form and stats
The club members are hoping that Colón will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-6 away loss in the match against Oriental. Colón were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Preceding that match was a Primera División Amateur defeat to Mar de Fondo (1-2).The match schedule is unforgiving for Colón as they have a new game in only three days, a Primera División Amateur match thankfully also at home. Deportivo Colonia are visiting.
Peñarol form and stats
Peñarol are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Primera Division, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
There might be some fixture complaints from Peñarol as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-3 against Nacional.
Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Danubio.A new game in only three days for Peñarol, the Primera Division home match versus Rentistas. Busy days.
The travelling fans enjoy Peñarol's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away.
