Cerro Largo form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cerro Largo so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-5 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Cerro Largo's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Max was the last player to score for the away team. Cerro Largo haven't scored a league goal in the last 198 minutes.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Cerro, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Danubio (placed 5th).

A loss against Nacional was the result prior to that, in a home game.
