Peñarol and Cerro Largo have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Primera Division.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Primera Division. That game was also an away game, at Wanderers. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Peñarol form and stats
Peñarol have collected 8 points from their Primera Division home games so far after 2-2-0.
The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Rentistas in the Primera Division last time out and are looking for a win here. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Deportivo Maldonado (0-2).
Opportunity lost for Peñarol in the Rentistas match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.
Peñarol are traveling soon after this match as the Primera Division match at Cerro awaits in three days.
A decent goal production from Peñarol in their home games so far, with 7 goals from 4 league matches. 4 goals have been conceded.
Cerro Largo form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Primera Division for Cerro Largo with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.
There might be some fixture complaints from Cerro as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Primera Division match against Wanderers (0-1). Prior to that match, a home win 4-3 against Liverpool.
The schedule is very tough for Cerro now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Primera Division game at Danubio is waiting in only three days.
Cerro are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games (in the league). 4 goals have been conceded by Cerro Largo in these games.
