Thanks to a largely full-strength group of players, there’s only the one fitness issue for the Cerro boss Gustavo Ferreyra to be concerned about. Yonatan Irrazábal (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.

💡 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.

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