🗞️ Team News: Peñarol

Byron Castillo (Torn muscle bundle) and Sebastián Cristóforo (unknown injury) will not be able to play for Peñarol manager Diego Aguirre.

🗞️ Team News: Danubio

Thanks to a largely full-strength group, there’s just the lone fitness problem for the Danubio manager Mario Saralegui to be concerned about. Juan Millán (Achilles tendon surgery) won’t be in action. Lucas Ferreira will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

🧠 Prediction

We’re thinking that Peñarol will most probably create enough chances to score more than one against Danubio, who could well struggle getting on the scoresheet.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a pretty comfortable 2-0 win for Peñarol come full-time.
