Defensor Sporting are in action against Cerro in Saturday’s forthcoming Intermediate Round fixture.
Scroll down to see all of the predictions, poll and statistics for Defensor Sporting v Cerro - plus the latest match odds.
Defensor Sporting go into this game following on from a 1-1 Intermediate Round stalemate versus Cerro Largo.
Defensor Sporting have really been misfiring of late. Their ‘goals for’ figure stands at just 4 against opponents over their previous 6 matches. In those meetings, Defensor Sporting have also seen the tally of goals against them come to 8. Having said that, we will just have to wait and see whether the trend will continue on in this game or not.
Cerro come into this game following a 1-2 Intermediate Round win versus Liverpool FC in their most recent match.
Rubén Bentancourt (45') scored for Liverpool FC.
It is worth noting that Cerro have suffered from a shortage of goals over their last 6 clashes, contributing the disappointing return of just 4. In those fixtures, Villeros have also seen the overall goal tally of their opponents equal 12.
Inspecting their most recent head to head clashes going back to 25/02/2024 shows us that Defensor Sporting have won 3 of these and Cerro 2, with the tally of draws standing at 1.
A combined sum of 17 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 11 of them from El Tuerto and 6 netted by Villeros. That is an average goals per game value of 2.83.
The last league game between the two was Primera Division (Apertura) match day 10 on 05/04/2026 when it finished Cerro 1-0 Defensor Sporting.
Cerro boss Gustavo Ferreyra has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Nahuel Sena (Cruciate ligament tear) and Pablo Da Silveira (unknown injury) can’t be considered. Nicolás Bertocchi is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
We’ve got the feeling that Defensor Sporting can and should be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.
However, Cerro might well find it a difficult task to break down their defence but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be hitting back at some stage here, too.
We’re predicting a 3-1 margin for Defensor Sporting when all’s said and done.
