Struggling Juventud will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Nacional in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It's no vacation for neither Juventud nor Nacional 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.
Juventud form and stats
Juventud's results here at Estadio Parque Artigas in the Primera Division have been very modest with 1 victory, 4 draws and 2 defeats.
In their previous game, the manager P. Tiscornia led his Juventud to a defeat in the Primera Division match away at River Plate. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Parque Artigas. Before that game, the 4-2 home victory against Cerro.
Juventud are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 7 games. Juventud's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Nacional form and stats
Nacional's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Nacional, who have the most scored goals (24) in Primera Division, collect 12 points from their 6 away matches in the Primera Division. 4 victories and 0 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats).
Nacional are travelling after their nice 4-3 home win in the Primera Division against Rampla Juniors (placed 16th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Defensor Sporting wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Nacional, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
Nacional find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 8 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far).
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Juventud - Nacional 0-2. Juventud-Nacional H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Juventud 1 win, Nacional 7 wins, 2 draws. 4 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
