There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Tacuarembó leading Atenas by 6 points.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Segunda Division. That game was an away game at Central Espanol, so at least Tacuarembó are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Tacuarembó form and stats
Tacuarembó, who have the fewest conceded goals (10) in Segunda Division, have played 6 Segunda Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena. Two home wins in a row for Tacuarembó bring valid hopes of a third.
Tacuarembó are confident in defense, having played 275 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
It's back home for Tacuarembó, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Central Espanol away with the result 1-0. D. González found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, Tacuarembó won a home game hosting Villa Espanola (1-0).
This is expected to be a close game, with Tacuarembó perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Tacuarembó as a small favourite), we find two games. Tacuarembó has won one of these, drawn one and lost zero.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Tacuarembó, as the Segunda Division home game vs Rampla Juniors is only three days away.
Tacuarembó are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. Tacuarembó are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Raúl Saturnino Goyenola in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 6 matches.
Atenas form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Atenas, who have the fewest scored goals (9) in Segunda Division, so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-3 (win-draw-lose).
Atenas are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Cerrito (placed 1st). That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Racing.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Atenas in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Atenas, two draws and four defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Segunda Division trip to Rocha.
The attacking power of Atenas when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. For Atenas, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
