It's early days in the Primera Division and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.

Racing form and stats

No Primera Division points yet away for Racing, from their first 3 matches. Bitter travels for Racing as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Cerro match.

Racing play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Progreso (placed 2nd). Before that, Racing secured a home win against Fénix with the score 4-1.

A new game in only two days for Racing, the Primera Division home match versus Rampla Juniors. Busy days.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Racing's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. The Racing manager E. Favaro has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
