LLWWDL

Defensor Sporting will be wanting a better result here following the 1-0 Primera Division (Apertura) loss in their previous game against Deportivo Maldonado.

It’s been seldom in recent games where Defensor Sporting have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Defensor Sporting have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 8 goals along the way. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, however.

Their past results show that Defensor Sporting:

• haven't won against Danubio when playing them at home in the previous 5 league matches.
• haven't beaten Danubio in their previous 3 league matches.
• are undefeated in their last 2 home league matches.
