Cerro form and stats

Cerro are yet to win a home game, having collected 2 points from their first two Primera Division games here at Estadio Monumental Luis Tróccoli.

Cerro are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Danubio (after extra-time). The penalty miss from Rodríguez in the defeat against Danubio was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

Before that, Cerro drew at home versus Nacional (after extra-time).

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Cerro at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
