Cerro

DWDLLL 📉

Cerro won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 3-0 Primera Division (Apertura) losing effort in their last game against Peñarol.

In that match, Cerro managed 46% possession and 3 shots on goal with 2 on target. On the other side, Penarol had 5 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Maximiliano Silvera (3') and Leonardo Fernández (81', 90') scored for Peñarol.

It has been all too rare in recent times that Cerro have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Cerro have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 13 goals during that time. That kind of trend might not follow through into this game, of course.
