The Cerrito & Villa Española managers R. Marcenaro Nieves and S. Santín Francia are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Segunda Division league table.

It's no vacation for neither Cerrito nor Villa Española 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.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Villa Española form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most points (19) away in Segunda Division, on their Segunda Division travels is 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat. One point away has become something of a habit for Española who have played out draws in their last three away games.

J. Moreira was the last player to score for the away team. Española haven't scored a league goal in the last 195 minutes.

Española might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Racing proved too strong as Villa Española slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Obdulio Varela. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Juventud that ended 0-0.

A new game in only three days for Española, the Segunda Division home match versus Tacuarembo. Busy days.

Española find the net regularly in their away games. 14 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far).

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Villa Española - Cerrito 1-2. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Cerrito, two draws and five wins for Villa Española. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
