The Primera Division league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Nacional and Torque are placed 8th and 3rd respectively.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Nacional form and stats
Nacional have less points than they have played home games in the Primera Division so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 2 points. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Estadio Gran Parque Central, but a victory now would be sweet for Nacional.
A strong away win for Nacional against River Plate the last match. In the match before that, Nacional hosted Penarol and drew the game 1-1.
The manager G. Munúa Vera will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Plaza Colonia in only three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Nacional at home in the league. 3 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Torque form and stats
Torque, who have the the best goal difference (+4) away in Primera Division, are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the Primera Division. Torque are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.
Home advantage was not enough for Torque in their previous game, as they lost their Primera Division-match, hosting Danubio, 1-2. Preceding that game was the away victory against Defensor Sporting with the score of 2-0.
A quick return to home after this game, as Torque are hosting Boston River in the Primera Division only three days away.
5 goals so far away for Torque, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.
