The visiting Peñarol played their last game only three days ago, a Copa Sudamericana match. That game, against Nacional, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Peñarol.

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

Peñarol form and stats

The visitors, who have the fewest conceded goals (6) in Primera Division, are W1-D2-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Primera Division.

Two travels in a row for Peñarol, whose manager J. Larriera Dibarboure could celebrate last time after the Copa Sudamericana win against Nacional. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager J. Larriera Dibarboure when V. Rodríguez scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 87th minute. Late drama in the previous game, when V. Rodríguez scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat Nacional.

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Cerrito in the Primera Division.

A quick return to home after this game, as Peñarol are hosting Nacional in the Copa Sudamericana only four days away.

Peñarol are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 4 away games. Peñarol's manager J. Larriera Dibarboure has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 2 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
