The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.

Before that game, the home loss against Progreso with the scoreline 0-2.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Cerro as they have a new game in only three days, a Copa Sudamericana match thankfully also at home. UTC Cajamarca are visiting.
