Torque and Rentistas are both riding high in the Primera Division with their 2nd and 1st positions respectively. Expect a great game!

Torque have less rest than Rentistas in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Primera Division game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Deportivo Maldonado, so at least Torque are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

Rentistas form and stats
