Sud América welcome Cerro for another engaging Segunda Division match here at Parque Palermo.

Insights:
  • Sud América have the fewest scored goals in the first half (7) in Segunda Division
  • Cerro have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

These are hustling days for the hosts, as they had a match only four days ago in the Copa Uruguay. That game was an away game at Universitario de Salto, so at least América are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
