The visiting Fénix side should be favourites in this visit to Defensor Sporting, as the away team holds a 9 point advantage from their 13 league games this season.

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.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
