Danubio

LDDDDL 📉

After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Peñarol in Primera Division (Apertura) action, Danubio and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Héctor Villalba (26') was the scorer for Peñarol.

Over the course of 5 of the prior six games featuring Danubio, a relatively low number of goals have been struck between them and their opposition. The overall average number of goals per game in that period is a paltry 2, with the number of goals averaged by La Franja equalling 0.83.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Danubio:

• are unbeaten in their last 2 league matches away from home.
• are without an away win for the past 6 matches in the league.

↔️ Head to head

Inspecting their prior head to head clashes dating back to 23/10/2022 shows that Nacional de Football have won 3 of these and Danubio 1, with the number of drawn matches being 2.

A combined sum of 13 goals were yielded between them throughout the course of those matches, with 10 of them for Bolsos and 3 belonging to La Franja. That’s an average goals per game of 2.17.

🗞️ Team News: Danubio

From a largely full-strength squad, there is only the one fitness issue for the Danubio manager Mario Saralegui to be concerned about. Facundo Saravia (unknown injury) misses out for this game.

💭 Prediction

We envisage that Nacional de Football will most probably see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

In contrast, Danubio might well find it a difficult task getting on the scoresheet but we can see them converting at least once here.

Accordingly, we see a fairly comfortable 3-1 victory for Nacional de Football at the end of this one.
