Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Danubio form and stats

Two Primera Division home games so far for Danubio, who are yet to win here at Estadio Jardines del Hipódromo. Only 0 points so far. The home stadium (Estadio Jardines del Hipódromo) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Danubio it's been a house of straw as the last five games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Happy days for Danubio in their previous game, a Primera Division match away at Cerro (placed 7th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that game, the home loss against Plaza Colonia with the scoreline 0-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Danubio perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Danubio as a small favourite), we find six games. Danubio has won 2 of these, drawn 0 and lost 4.

The manager M. Larriera will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Nacional in only four days.

At Estadio Jardines del Hipódromo, Danubio has the goal stats of 1-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
