With seven home Segunda Division games in a row without a win, the Sud América fans could feel they are not getting value for their money.

Atenas form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Segunda Division travels is 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.
Atenas might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Juventud proved too strong as Atenas slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Atenas. Atenas were so close to getting something from the game against Juventud, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.
Preceding that, 1-1 away against Juanico (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) in the Copa Uruguay. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest.
