Struggling Rampla Juniors will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Plaza Colonia in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It's no vacation for neither Rampla Juniors nor Plaza Colonia 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.
