Prediction
We feel that Defensor Sporting and Montevideo Wanderers should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.
It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. We’re therefore anticipating a tight encounter, finishing with a 1-1 score draw at the end of this one.
