The visiting Nacional side should be favourites in this visit to Boston River, as the away team holds a 14 point advantage from their 13 league games this season.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Primera Division. That game, against Liverpool, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Nacional.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
