📏 Form Guide
Racing Club
DWDLWD
Racing Club go into this game following a 0-0 Intermediate Round tied result vs Liverpool FC.
Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that things are going according to plan in the Racing Club rearguard. Racing Club have given the opposition little, seeing the total number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their last six outings standing at 4. Putting that to one side, it remains to be seen whether such a trend might be sustained in this match or not.
Defensor Sporting
DWDLLL 📉
Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Peñarol in Intermediate Round action, Defensor Sporting and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
Matías Arezo (49') and Diego Laxalt (90') scored for Peñarol.
The stats don’t lie, and Defensor Sporting have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 8 goals overall. Defensively, Defensor Sporting have clearly had some problems.
↔️ Head to head

📰 Team News: Racing Club
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just a single fitness concern for the Racing Club boss to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Facundo Parada (sprain) is sidelined. Álex Vázquez is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
🧠 Prediction
Our assessment here is that Defensor Sporting might well have a job on their hands to see themselves scoring against this Racing Club lineup who we think might well score at least once to gain the upper hand.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 winning score for Racing Club at the end of the 90.
Let’s see what happens.
