📰 Team News: Cerro

In an otherwise healthy squad, there is just the lone fitness problem for the Cerro boss Gustavo Ferreyra to be concerned with. Yonatan Irrazábal (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.

💡 Prediction

It looks to us that Nacional de Football will probably have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

At the other end, Cerro are also probably going to find it difficult to make a breakthrough but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be converting at least once.

Accordingly, we see a pretty comfortable 3-1 margin for Nacional de Football when all’s said and done.
