It's the second window of opportunity for points this season as Nacional and Cerro Largo fight it out at Estadio Gran Parque Central.
This looks to be an interesting game with lots of fun and energy as both contenders are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Let's get started!
Nacional form and stats
The previous season, Nacional's league results were 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, resulting in 1st place in the Primera Division. In these 15 matches they scored {26 goals} and let in 9. Playing as the home side in the previous season Nacional managed 5-2-0 (win-draw-lost) with {13 goals} and 3 conceded. Nacional have only played one Primera Division game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 5 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats from 7 matches.
A nice win for Nacional last time playing, versus Liverpool. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Montiel and Gigliotti scoring for the victors. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Zielinski when Montiel scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 24th minute.
Before that, a loss in the away fixture against Liverpool in the Super Cup. Nacional are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found 7 matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won 6, drew 1 and lost 0.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Nacional at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Cerro Largo form and stats
Let's have a look at how Cerro Largo performed last season in the Primera Division: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats. In total they scored 11 and conceded {18 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 2 and lost 2 with 3/4 goals scored/conceded.
Cerro Largo are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the match against River Plate (placed 10th). Galletto came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against River Plate last time out, making the manager Porley feel like a tactical genius.
A loss against Penarol was the result prior to that, in a home game.Head 2 Head
