Cerro Largo form and stats

4 victories, 3 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Cerro Largo, who have the fewest conceded goals (10) in Primera Division, have to build on here at Estadio Municipal Arquitecto Antonio Eleuterio Ubilla in the Primera Division.

The home team returns to Estadio Municipal Arquitecto Antonio Eleuterio Ubilla after drawing with Wanderers on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. Alaniz felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Wanderers as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 86th minute.

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Fenix.

This is expected to be a close game, with Cerro Largo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cerro Largo as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Cerro Largo has won 8 of these, drawn 4 and lost 2.

Not much happening? Looking at this team's last 10 league games, 8 have produced less than three goals (under 2.5).

The manager Campos will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Defensor Sporting in only three days.

From these home matches, Cerro Largo have conceded only 7 goals.

La Luz form and stats

2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of La Luz, who have the most conceded goals (27) in Primera Division, playing as the away team in the Primera Division this season.

La Luz aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 241 league minutes without a goal. Padula was the last player to find the net.

This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Liverpool with 0-2 on the scoreboard.

A 0-1 defeat away at Torque before that.
