Season ticket holders at Parque Cincuentenario Juan Gaspar Prandi haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Plaza Colonia languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Cerro Largo will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It's no vacation for neither Plaza Colonia nor Cerro Largo 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.

Plaza Colonia form and stats

1 victory, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Plaza Colonia have to build on here at Parque Cincuentenario Juan Gaspar Prandi in the Primera Division.

Colonia lost their last game at Rentistas (placed 1st) after a 1-2 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against Deportivo Maldonado that was lost 1-2.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Colonia, as the Primera Division home game vs Peñarol is only three days away.

Colonia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. From these home matches, Colonia have conceded only 3 goals.

Cerro Largo form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera Division travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Cerro have lost on their last two travels.

A draw for Cerro before that, at their own venue hosting Torque (1-1).

Leading 5-1 was not enough for Cerro in their fight with Nacional last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 1-5 loss. Cerro lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Primera Division trip to Progreso.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Cerro's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 6 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Colonia won three games, four matches ended with a draw and Cerro Largo has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five
