It's the second chance for points this season as Cerro and Nacional battle it out.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Cerro form and stats
The fans are hoping that Cerro will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Primera Division game against River Plate (placed 10th). Heartbreak before that as Cerro lost 1-4 at Cerro Largo's place.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Cerro as they are travelling to their away game against UTC Cajamarca in the Copa Sudamericana. That match is four days after this one.
Last season, Cerro's league statistics were 0 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses, resulting in a 3rd position in the league. Over these one match they scored 2 goals and conceded 2. Playing at home last season Cerro managed 0-1-0 (win-draw-lost) with 2 goals and 2 conceded.
Nacional form and stats
One match played away so far for Nacional and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were {awayteam_away_last_season_win wins}, {awayteam_away_last_season_draw draws} and {awayteam_away_last_season_lost losses} from awayteam_away_last_season_played games.Nacional are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the Primera Division against Plaza Colonia (placed 7th). Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Danubio's place.
The schedule is very tough for Nacional now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa Libertadores game at Cerro Porteno is waiting in only three days.
1 goal so far away for Nacional, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 match.
