📊 Form Guide

Cerrito

DLLLLL 🔻

Cerrito will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 3-1 Primera Division defeat in their last game at the hands of Peñarol.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent times where Cerrito have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Cerrito have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 16 goals in the process. That kind of trend won’t necessarily follow through into this game, however.

Defensor Sporting

LWWWLD

A succession of effective performances from the Defensor Sporting defensive unit has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 2 from their past 6 fixtures in total. Over that same period, their own attack force has managed to score 3.

🗞️ Team News: Cerrito

The Cerrito boss will be grateful to have no fitness concerns at all ahead of this game owing to a fully injury-free squad available to select from.

🗞️ Team News: Defensor Sporting

Thanks to a largely available group of players, there’s just a single fitness issue for the Defensor Sporting boss Ignacio Risso to be concerned with. Diego Abreu (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be in action.

✨ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Cerrito should be able to find the net against this Defensor Sporting outfit, however a single goal probably shouldn’t be as many as they’ll concede.

We therefore reckon that it will be a 1-2 win for Defensor Sporting when the full-time whistle blows. Could easily go either way, this.
