Defensor Sporting are welcoming Cerro for another important game after their 0-5 result against 11th-placed Fenix.
It's no vacation for neither Defensor nor Cerro as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
