Cerro
LLLDDL 📉
Cerro will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 1-2 Intermediate Round defeat in their last game at the hands of Montevideo Wanderers.
The only name on the scoresheet from Cerro was Enzo Larrosa (14'). Joaquín Zeballos (68') was the scorer for Montevideo Wanderers.
Cerro have found it difficult to unlock defences of late. Their goals record equals just 4 vs opposing sides during the course of their last six matches. In those meetings, Cerro have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them total 12. However, it remains to be seen if the trend shall be replicated here in this match or not.
River Plate
LWLLLL 📉
After a loss in their previous game against Defensor Sporting in Intermediate Round action, River Plate and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
The only name on the scoresheet from River Plate was Christian Almeida (38').
It has become apparent that River Plate have struggled for goals over their last six games, contributing the unsatisfactory return of only 2. In those fixtures, La Dársena have also seen the collective goal tally against them equal 8.

Team News: River Plate
Thanks to a largely full-strength group, there is just the sole fitness issue for the River Plate boss Gustavo Díaz to be concerned with. Mauro Estol (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.

Prediction
We’re of the opinion that River Plate and Cerro should both be able to score here although it’s hard to pick a clear winner.
It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. We therefore see a tight encounter with a 1-1 score at the end of this one.
