📰 Team News: Cerro

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

⚡ Prediction

It’s pretty clear that Cerro will need to play some great football to be putting goals past a Peñarol outfit who will likely boss this game in attack, midfield and defence.

We reckon that it will be a convincing 3-0 winning scoreline for Peñarol when all is said and done.
