Peñarol vs Cerro Live Stream, Predictions (Apr 27)

📏 Form Guide

Peñarol

LLWWWW 📈

Peñarol will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following a 1-2 Primera Division (Apertura) victory versus Montevideo Wanderers.

For Peñarol, the scorers were Maximiliano Silvera (31') and Héctor Villalba (85').

Diego Aguirre's Peñarol have hit the back of the net a sum total of 10 times in their preceding half-dozen outings. Conversely, the number of goals that have been scored against them in those same games stands at 7.

Cerro

DDWDLL

After being beaten in their last game against Montevideo City Torque in Primera Division (Apertura) competition, Cerro and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

The only scorer from Cerro was Mathías Abero (90'). Gary Kagelmacher (14') and Pablo Siles (66') scored for Montevideo City Torque.

The numbers tell their own story, and Cerro have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 8 goals overall. In defence, Cerro can certainly do much better. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, however.

Their previous form shows that Cerro:

• have not won against Peñarol when they have played them away from home in the previous 5 league matches. Not the best of away records.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 4 league games.

↔️ Head to head

Checking on their past head to head meetings going back to 15/02/2020 reveals that these fixtures have not been fruitful for Cerro. They have not been able to come away with any victories whatsoever whereas Peñarol have remained in the ascendancy, running out winners in 67% of those matches.

A combined total of 17 goals were produced between them during those clashes, with 14 for Aurinegros and 3 being from Villeros. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.83.

The last league clash featuring the two was Primera Division match day 4 on 22/09/2024 when it finished Cerro 0-5 Peñarol.

📰 Team News: Peñarol

Tomás Olase (Cruciate ligament tear), Juan Rodríguez (Adductor injury), Eduardo Darias (Cruciate ligament tear), Felipe Avenatti (Adductor injury), Gastón Silva (Muscle injury) and Javier Cabrera (Muscle injury) are not available for Peñarol manager Diego Aguirre.

📋 Team News: Cerro

Owing to an otherwise available group, there is just a single fitness worry for the Cerro boss Gustavo Ferreyra to be concerned with. Yonatan Irrazábal (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.

💡 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.
