Another interesting game in the Primera Division. Plaza Colonia is in the 2nd position after playing three matches. They welcome Nacional who are placed 4th after three games.

Plaza Colonia form and stats

The hosts won their first Primera Division game here at Parque Cincuentenario Juan Gaspar Prandi, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Plaza Colonia last season were 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss from 8 games.

Colonia manager E. Espinel Porley and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Penarol (placed 7th) in the Primera Division.

Nacional form and stats

Only one away game in the Primera Division so far for Nacional and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 4 victories, 2 draws and 1 loss from 7 travels.

Nacional might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Cerro Largo proved too strong as Nacional slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Gran Parque Central.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Sud America.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Nacional in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Nacional, two draws and one defeat.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Nacional has managed 3 goals and let in 1 from 1 match.
