Football tips: Cerrito vs Tacuarembó - predictions and betting guide

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Cerrito form and stats

Cerrito have played three Segunda Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Cerrito's last game was hosting Tacuarembó (placed 9th) and winning 1-0. Heartbreak before that as Cerrito lost 2-3 at Villa Española's place.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Cerrito have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won 1 time, drawn 0 and lost 0.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Cerrito here at Parque Maracaná in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Cerrito's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Tacuarembó form and stats

Things could have gone better for Tacuarembó in their Segunda Division away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. With the Tacuarembó losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Tacuarembó seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Two away games in a row for Tacuarembó, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Cerrito in the Segunda Division. A 0-2 loss hosting Rentistas before that.

Tacuarembó are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of two matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tacuarembó as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Tacuarembó have conceded 3 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head
